JOIN USWorld over, Nature is reverently referred to as Mother Nature and her very first act of service is to provide the soul with a body. Like a caring mother, she gives us the food that nourishes and sustains our bodies as also water that cleanses and gives us life. It also provides fresh air to supply us with oxygen, which is vital to keep bodily functions going.
It also provides materials – from hay, firewood and timber to rubber, gum, minerals and countless other things – that have made our lives easier.
When one thinks about how much humanity is still served by Nature in spite of man’s depredations that have brought about the phenomenon of climate change, one begins to wonder how marvellous Nature must have been in its original, unpolluted state.
The law of Nature is a pattern of ceaseless motion and change in which every natural process is irreversible and leads towards a state of decay or disorder, although as a Mother, Nature’s tendency is to try to restore balance and minimise pollution and disorder.
The fact that the environment is polluted and abused today is because we have forgotten that we are intimately connected to Nature, as is any baby to its mother.
Arrogantly treating her as an object for reckless exploitation in the name of our perceived, but often only imaginary needs, as well as desecrating the original beauty of our planet, we have fouled and blocked our life-giving umbilical cord.
Hence, as humans, we must accept the responsibility for our ill behaviour towards Mother Nature and change our way of thinking as well as our way of life for the common good of all. This would be the first and fundamental step to genuine partnership between humans and Nature.
We must put hard efforts to develop new insights and inspiration on how to protect our home by developing a deep understanding that by destroying environment, we are destroying ourselves. We should very well understand a fact that any kind of partnership is not a one-way street, hence we must not depend on Mother Nature to always protect us all the time. We must stop the insanity of environmental abuse and replace this with environmental integrity.
therwise, we will face the consequences together as human race. So, let us be sensible enough and invest our resources in a sustainable way, for after all, we all share one earth, sky and sea, and the law of inter-dependence says that investment in one simple part will help to sustain the whole. So let’s make a sound investment of conserving Nature for the sake of our future generations.
