NATURE
So as parents that have a respect for Nature often I think what I want to leave my son. Obviously it will be a world with a clean and sustainable environment. But more importantly there are areas that I want him to internalize for himseelf. First and foremost is a love of being outdoors, but that is not enough....
Wild has value.
Wherever you see it large and small we must see and respect the wild.. THe wild where man has not interfered and where nature takes its course. Accept it and keep it we do not need to change it.
Nature and Civilization have to be appreciated.
Man and nature have the ability to create art, it’s all how you see it. So take your time to be impressed by the amazing buildings man has created but dont forget that nature has been building a world for millennium. Appreciate the differences and the similarities.
Our impact on nature can be minimized.
Our foot print can be large or small. It is a choice we make by how we live our life. When out in nature do we pick the flower or just smell it and allow it to do what it does best? Whith knowledge we can be smarter and even creat more respect for that amazing force of nature. But more importantly if we take time to stop and observe nature we can learn from and do what we do even better.
Be prepared.
We control nature in many places and ways. Yet, what we can not control we fear. Being prepared in nature and in life reduces our fears. and worrying about the unknown. but it’s never truly tamed. Nature’s citizens generally don’t care about us. Reduce your fears and be prepared for all possible outcomes.
Everything is has value.
Ok, spiders can be a bit creepy. Yet, they are amazing creatures. Rather than seeing a reason to kill or change a life form... just keep walking and let it do what it does. Respect even if you are the stronger spieces. Plus, be aware that all parts of nature are incredibly complex, with each plant, animal, bacteria, and fungus having its own unique niche.
Human life requires a healthy ecosystem.
Each day we learn more about how we effect nature and the environment both in a positive and negative way. So please be aware and do your part to protect this planet we live on, after all it is our responsibility.
