What Nature Teaches Me

Many Things I Learn from Nature

By: Nanette  A

Humans being are just a tiny little part of nature. Nature has a very wide ranging. We just don’t realize it. Some of us occasionally like to boast about theirselves, in human’s logic it is still considered to be true, but if we look to the theory side it is absolutely not. Those who learn from nature, how nature works, what nature had given to all of us will automatically appreciate it. And for those who don’t won’t even care about nature. As Albert Einstein said “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”

Everybody loves to get out from nature. Nature is everything around us including animate also inanimate things. It’ll unconsciously establish a mutually beneficial relationship. We are not able to survive without water, wind, air, land, and others that take part from nature. Every single person even animals, plants, or even things get many advantage  from nature. And we know that not all of us giving reciprocity to them, how rude are we?

Simple things we can learn from nature are trees. We see trees everyday even everytime. Tree gives us oxygen to breath. They teach us how to live our life. When autumn comes it teaches us about death. In spring it teaches us about birth & rebirth. In winter, the tree seems dead, but its only asleep untill the sun renewed it. We are not supposed to do bad things like illegal logging without replant them back, picking flowers for not so important purpose, making pollution and many activities that could damage tree.

Flowers in the garden have many colors. From little to big they have their own uniqueness. Everything in nature is beautiful. It serves a purpose just as it is. Even corpse flower issued odor but it still look beautiful. We can learn that we are beautiful just by being who you are, don’t ever envious to others because we don’t have what they do, be a confident human just like corpse flower does, it survives with it uniqueness.

Ants build their house together. At the time when ants build house it necessarily have a leader. Without a leader thousands of insects moving specks of dirt create a complex. Same as us as a human being, we need each other to do things and leader in our life. Most ants are probably counting their steps, the number of steps taken gives them a sense of how far they’ve walked. Humans do similar things, estimating distance based on the size of their body, and makes same mistakes when their length of step doesn’t match their expectation.

Nature have given us many things. Most of them are very useful for our life. It is harmony, it is a best gift that a human could ever had. It gives us air to breathe, water to drink, land to stay, animals, food to eat, and a lot more. We could enjoy the nature but in change we should not damaging it. We should care about nature, keep it clean so that we can enjoy them forever. Nature is a gift from god, instead we don’t appreciate that gift. Nature has everything for us but we dont have anything for nature. We just destroying nature to fulfill our bad wishes.

If you find yourself stress by your surroundings, nature can help you to soothe things that make you stress. It serves you free and fresh air to breathe especially on hills area, beautiful scenery in paradise, silence atmosphere if you need loneliness in forest. It a hundred percent effective for those who feel stressed.

Nowadays, not everyone could enjoy nature. Not because nature has vanished from our life, but because of our routines that create a distance between us and nature. It is such a pity that we couldn’t actually enjoy nature like how people used to back in the days. Nature is a heaven on earth. If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.
