Human has existed centuries before present times. But nature has existed longer before.
Us humans are unaware that nature has been part, if not the cause of human history. Either humanity's salvation, or damnation, nature has played a huge role on how humans back then becomes humans of the present. We are ignorant and egoistic to think that everything happens solely because of human work and intellegence , when instead nature has given chance and experience to help humans achieve their goals numerous times that we humans lost count.
We have a lot to learn.
I am a highscholl student in city called Bandung, in a country crunched between two continents. A tropical country in which variety of wildlife prospers, Indonesia. I am also a member of an explorer's organisation named after a shadow puppet that gained his power by learning from nature, Jamadagni.
To live up to the name Jamadagni, i went on various explorations, in which i came up with a single conclusion, "You will never beat nature, you will only find a way to be at peace with nature, and learn to appreciate it".
We can learn that nature will find away to create not only chaos and anger but can also peace and joy. This means that what ever we do or have done, will have it's results. If say, a bad deed have been done, you'll get what you deserve. Same goes to good deeds, you get what you give.
Nature has provide us with life, but what we gave back is death and destruction. What this cause is an imbalance situation where nature is slowly disintergrating. But as we know, nature will find a way to create a balance situation that may be done by human extinction. That being said, human haven't understand that we are an egg on top of a horn. We are fragile, and we rely on nature to keep us alive. Sadly, humans are stubborn and egosentrical beings as we often think that we rule nature and that nature is ours to control when it's not. Protect nature and nature will protect you back.
Nature gives the best lesson on life. We are the students, not teachers. We are the owned, not the owners. We are the needy, not givers. Nature teaches us humilty, a lesson that every human must learn. We are humble creatures against nature. Humans are nothing compared to nature.
Though chaotic sometimes, there's beauty in nature. The chaos, the untouched part of it is mesmerizing and captivating. It is the wonders of the world. We are obligated to protect it. But as said before, humans can be very egosentrical. Many things can be learnt from the beauty of nature, but if destroyed, we are unable to learn from it again. We cannot replicate the raw beauty of nature in anyway. There is no rebuilding or reshaping that can be done to come near as nature's beauty. Nature's beauty can only be preserved, and it's our job to do so.
To conclude everything. Humans need to remember that everything has feedbacks. We cannot do everything as we pleased, because we are only humble guests in a mansion. We have to respect the rules there and if not, we have to face the consequences whether we like it or not. We have to be humble, respectful, well-managed, well-behaved and open-minded humans and if else, nature will give us a painful lesson.
Be a decent human, respect nature.
