Nature is God’s gift to man, or so people say. Sometimes, we forget that mere contact with nature is just what humans need both physically and psychologically.
Human-beings need contact with nature. In fact, the human organism interacts with the environment through sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch, in addition to the different systems such as respiratory, neurological, and so on.
Nature generally is assumed to mean the geographically determined ecology of a region. That is to say the trees, mountains, lakes, animals, etc, anything that is not manmade.
When you talk about a person’s nature you are primarily talking about his temperament, whether, he is of a friendly nature or a mean nature, etc.
Nature is being brought under human control however a human being finds it difficult to bring his nature under control. That is the irony.
Nature is generally pleasing to be in the presence of because it is an entirely different world devoid of stress and worries of daily life.
It is important for the human beings to start respecting nature because we have already seen the power of the fury that nature has the potential of unleashing on the human beings, be it a Tsunami or a hurricane.
Unbridled cutting down of forests to make way for constructions, cutting down mountains for human passage, reckless quarrying and claiming land, where it belongs to the oceans, are all ways of claiming superiority over nature. However, we have not thought through all the consequences of these acts.
So much of land and forest have been claimed by the relentless growth of the human race that the wildlife has been pushed to the margins and are now in need of conservation from extinction.
Importance of Nature
If a century ago, doctors recommended sea baths and treatments with thermal waters, today, some prescribe forest baths. In fact, several scientific studies prove the physical and mental benefits of going to natural space. These are some reasons.
- Relax and rejuvenate yourself from the hectic day to day life.
- Give yourself a chance to introspect in peace with nature.
- It is said that 1 hour in the midst of nature can go a long way to helping your mind as well as body.
Conclusion
Nature is a benign giver of all our needs. It is for us to realize where we try to reverse the positions of a master from a servant. If the above things do not convince you, you only have to try them to feel the difference within yourself!
