Nature Is Wonderful
The natural world
Nature – the word – is derived from the Latin word natura, or “essential qualities, innate disposition”, and in ancient times, literally meant “birth”.
Natura is a Latin translation of the Greek word physis, which originally related to the intrinsic characteristics of plants and animals. Now the concept of nature includes the whole physical universe.
Nature often means the “natural environment” or wilderness–wild animals, rocks, forests, and in general those things that have not been substantially altered by human intervention.
While for several decades the environmental agenda has been to protect nature from people, now there is increasing emphasis on protecting nature to conserve the well-being of people.
Whether one is watching a thrilling thunderstorm or looking up at a mighty tree, the experience of nature is one of awe. One cannot help but marvel at the intricate design of a single leaf, or the roar of a great waterfall.
Time spent in nature is time spent realizing that you don’t know it all and that you never will.
The earth is meant to be enjoyed by its inhabitants. That includes keeping it in the pristine condition in which it was discovered. Everyone has a part of the earth that they relate to the most.
Whether it is a majestic mountain range, a roaring waterfall, a bouquet of flowers, or the calm of the woods, these are places to get to know oneself and build bonds with family.
