Nature gives man everything he needs. Nature gives man everything necessary for his life
By Dennis Fischer
Today there are not many true corners of nature left. Urbanization and the conquest of nature by man are occurring at a tremendous pace, and soon only inaccessible areas with harsh climatic conditions will remain. New routes and winter roads are being built in the Russian taiga. The highway to Chukotka is a matter of the near future. But the question comes to mind: man has conquered nature, but what has he done for it lately?
Many protected areas have recently appeared in the CIS. But, as before, organizing reserves is a complex matter. Often nature reserves are given the worst locations, while neighboring forestry enterprises maintain excellent forests. It is very difficult for us to make a beautiful forest a protected area; it is much easier to cut it down in half and leave a pile of rubbish. Nowadays, national parks are mainly organized in which logging is allowed and only a small core is created where nature is inviolable. And salaries for employees of the reserve system are among the lowest in Russia.
Recently, a message was circulated online that in Transbaikalia, due to massive deforestation, rivers began to lose navigability.
The balance of nature in the world is disrupted - glaciers are actively melting, water is being used irrationally, forests are being cut down. Reservoirs are made on rivers, which destroy entire ecosystems of riverine plains and form freshwater seas, in which the water often blooms and the already scarce fish die. It turns out that now much, much depends on the person. Why not take concrete steps to restore the nature of our planet?
But it is precisely when nature is completely destroyed that people begin to take action to restore it. Germany is ahead of everyone; concrete steps have been taken there to restore forests and rivers. China has also come to its senses from the total conquest of nature. When I traveled around China, I saw young forests everywhere. Twenty years ago, large tracts of forests were destroyed here. After this, the consequences immediately began: the deserts began to advance at a rapid pace, and even Beijing began to be covered with sandstorms. Now the Chinese are paid money to plant trees. In a short time, many parks appeared in stuffy cities. In Chengdu I saw large trees and was surprised that they had been planted recently. Large trees are brought from the forests on dump trucks, droppers are installed, and after a while a park with old-growth trees appears in the new microdistrict. So in the once deserted mountains, landscaping is also happening on a large scale - thousands of trees are being planted. In the provinces of Xinjiang and Gansu there are loess soils - it is difficult to grow anything here. However, I was surprised when I saw thousands of fields, and next to them there was lifeless land, where there was not a single blade of grass, only dust. All this is grown thanks to fertilizers and is not very useful for the human body, but in conditions of overpopulation we have to resort to such methods. So why not restore forests that will help bring water back? Unfortunately, in the Central Asian regions of China, water is used irrationally, overgrazing by livestock destroys the already sparse vegetation, and deserts are encroaching on new territories.
There are not many successful examples of nature restoration. In the Kherson region of Ukraine there is a small desert called Aleshkovsky Sands. Once upon a time, through the joint efforts of scientists, it was possible to stop the sand dunes and plant this place with forests. And the growth of the desert stopped. This experience can be used to restore other regions. After all, cypress trees once grew green in the Sahara Mountains. Humanity has enough knowledge to solve the problem of desertification, even if it takes several hundred years.
In India, where there is also a large water shortage, local scientists managed to return water to wells. Once upon a time, forests were cut down on the banks of the river, and the area became a desert, and the water in the riverbed disappeared. But local scientists were able to revive this river by replanting forests.
So we should now pay attention to the problem of deforestation. After all, everything will be much more complicated further.
Nature is a kind of absolute for man; without it, human life is simply impossible; this truth is not obvious to everyone, judging by the way people care about nature. Man receives everything he needs for life from the environment; nature provides conditions for the prosperity of all forms of life on earth. The role of nature in human life is fundamental. It is worth mentioning categorical facts and looking at specific examples of what nature gives to man. In nature, everything is interconnected; if one element disappears, the whole chain will fail.
What does nature give to man?
Air, earth, water, fire - the four elements, eternal manifestations of nature. There is no need to explain that without air, human life is simply impossible. Why don’t people, when clearing forests, worry about new plantings so that the trees can continue to work for the benefit of purifying the air? The land gives people so many benefits that it is difficult to count: these are minerals, the opportunity to grow various crops through agriculture, and to live on the land. We get food from nature, be it plant foods (vegetables, fruits, grains) or food of animal origin (meat, dairy products). Material goods are sourced from the benefits of nature. Clothes are made from fabrics based on natural materials. Furniture in houses is made from wood, paper is made from wood. Cosmetics and household chemicals are based on plant components. Water is embodied in oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, groundwater, and glaciers. Drinking water satisfies the needs of people all over the world; people are made of water, which is why a person cannot live even a day without water. Without water, it is impossible to imagine life in everyday life: with the help of water, people wash, wash, wash anything, water is indispensable in production. Nature gives man heat in the form of fire; wood, coal, oil and gas are also sources of energy.
Nature charges a person with energy, inspires him to new achievements, and fills him with strength. What are sunsets and sunrises worth, moments filled with great meaning, the end of the day and the beginning of a new one, when everything becomes possible, despite the day that has passed. The sun is a source of joy, happiness, remember in sunny weather, somehow everything around is especially beautiful. The sun allows all living things on earth to live and develop. There are people who have given up their usual food and feed on solar energy.
Nature is capable of restoring human strength after exhausting mental or physical work; it is not without reason that many people go on vacation to the mountains, forests, ocean, sea, river or lake. The harmony of nature brings balance to the frantic rhythm of human existence.
Staying in nature in one of the above-mentioned areas has a beneficial effect on human health, headaches go away, and the general condition and well-being of a person improves. It’s not for nothing that many people strive to spend time in nature. These forms of leisure include: camping, a picnic, or just a trip out of town for a couple of hours. In places far from the bustle of the city, you can renew yourself, sort out your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and look inside yourself. Many unique herbs and tree flowers surround a person, giving fragrance and benefits, take time to enjoy and admire them.
People are inextricably linked with nature, it takes care of it throughout a person’s existence, why does a person only take and give nothing in return. People pollute the environment every day and carelessly use the gifts of nature. Perhaps it’s worth stopping and thinking, since nature gives so much to man, isn’t it worth reciprocating and taking care of her as reverently as she takes care of us.
Option 1. Unique and indescribably beautiful nature in autumn. Despite the fact that rain and fog are quite common, there are also clear, quiet days for a walk in the nearest forest. Sit down and admire golden robe of the forest, listen to the singing of birds, watch the birds fly away. Somewhere in the distance thunder roared. Drop by drop it began to rain. Hiding under a tree, he looked around. How beautiful it is all around I like autumn nature. The air is so fresh! I don't want to go home at all.
Option 2. Human and nature are closely related to each other. Nature creates all the conditions for human life, which is why it is so important to live in harmony with it. Beautiful landscapes of nature fill a person’s soul with delight, only this beauty is truly mesmerizing. Man's interest in nature is limitless; how many secrets and mysteries the forests and seas contain. There's a lot we don't know yet about nature. To enjoy the beauty of nature, you don’t need to travel far, just go to a park or forest. Nature is especially beautiful in the fall, when you want to sit on benches and absorb all its beauty and enjoy it. It is then that you feel how your soul is filled with new colors, how it is saturated with the beauty of the world around you. At these moments you realize how closely people are connected with nature.
We depend on nature not only for our physical survival. We also need nature to show us the way back home, the way out of the prison of our own mind.
We have forgotten what stones, plants, and animals continue to remember. We have forgotten how to be - how to be calm, to be ourselves, how to be where life flows - Here and Now.
As soon as you direct your attention to something natural, to something that began to exist without human intervention, you enter a state of connection with Being, in which all nature exists. Directing your attention to a stone, tree or animal does not mean thinking about it at all - simply perceiving it, holding it within your awareness.
Then something of his essence enters into you. You begin to feel how calm it is, and when you feel this, the same calm arises within you. You feel how deeply its roots go into the Existence - it is in complete agreement with what it is and where it is. Understanding this, you also come to a place within yourself where there is deep peace.
When walking or relaxing in nature, honor this kingdom by being completely present in it. Stay calm. Look. Listen. See how holistic every living being, every plant is. Unlike people, they never split into two. They don't live through their mental self-image, so they don't need to defend or inflate it. They don't even care about it at all. This is what a deer is. This is the pale yellow daffodil.
In nature, everything exists not only in complete unity with itself, everything exists in complete unity with everything else. No one isolates himself from the integral structure, claiming a separate existence like “I” and the rest of the universe.
Contemplation of nature can free you from this “I”, the main creator of troubles.
Bring your awareness to the subtle sounds of nature - the rustling of leaves in the wind, the falling of raindrops, the buzzing of insects, the first bird trill at dawn. Give yourself completely to listening. Behind the sounds there is something much more - a holiness that cannot be comprehended by thought.
If you perceive nature only through the mind, through thoughts, through thinking, then you cannot feel its liveliness, its vitality and givenness. You see only the form and are not aware of the life inside this form - and this is a holy sacrament. Thought reduces nature to the level of a commodity, an object of consumption. She uses it in pursuit of profit or for the purpose of gaining knowledge, or for some other utilitarian purpose. An ancient forest becomes lumber, a bird becomes a scientific program, a mountain becomes an object to be bored with adits or conquered.
When you perceive and become aware of nature, let there be intervals without thoughts, without reason. When you approach nature in this way, it will respond to you and participate in the evolution of both human and planetary consciousness.
Houseplants in your home - have you ever really looked at them? Have you allowed this familiar yet mysterious creature we call a plant to teach you its secrets? Have you noticed how deeply calm it is? What field of silence is it surrounded by? The moment you become aware of the emanation of calm and peace emanating from this plant, it becomes your teacher.
Observe any animal, flower or tree and see how it abides in Existence. It is itself. It has incredible dignity, innocence and holiness. But in order for you to see this, you need to go far beyond your mental habit of naming and labeling. The moment you look beyond the mental labels, you feel an ineffable dimension of nature that cannot be comprehended through thinking or sense perception. This is harmony, the holiness of which is lowered and permeated not only by all nature as a whole, but which also exists within you.
The air you breathe is nature, as is the process of breathing itself.
Bring your attention to your breathing and realize that you are not doing it. This is the breath of nature. If you had to remember to breathe, you would soon die, and if you tried to stop your breathing, nature would win.
By becoming aware of your breath and keeping your attention on it, you reconnect with nature in the most intimate and powerful way. This action is healing and deeply inspiring. It causes a shift in your consciousness from the conceptual world of thoughts to the inner realm of unconditional consciousness.
You need nature as a teacher to help you reunite with Being. But not only does nature need you, it needs you too.
You are not separate from nature. We are all part of the One Life, manifesting itself in countless forms throughout the universe, forms that are all closely intertwined and completely interconnected. When you understand this holiness, beauty, unimaginable silence and dignity in which a flower or tree exists, then you add something to both the flower and the tree. Through your understanding, your awareness, nature also comes to know itself. She comes to know her own beauty and holiness - through you!
Nature exists in a pristine and pure calm that preceded the appearance of thought. And the tree, and the flower, and the bird, and the stone are not aware of their own beauty and holiness. When people become quiet, they go beyond thought. In the silence behind thought, another dimension is added - the dimension of knowledge and awareness.
Nature can bring you peace and tranquility. This is her gift to you. When you perceive nature and connect with it in this field of silence, then your awareness begins to permeate this field. This is your gift to nature.
Hello, dear readers!
Have you ever wondered what nature gives to humans? Why are we so drawn to the forest or to the sea, to the mountains or wide fields? How does nature nourish us – physically and spiritually? Let's find arguments together.
Nature is probably the most valuable and important thing in life. After all, in fact, we are also part of nature and its continuation. And we owe everything to her: the air we breathe, food, shelter. We build houses from wood and natural materials, and in winter we get heat from coal and wood. And we also go to relax not somewhere amid the noise of the roads, but to nature: to the sea, to the forest, to the river.
Of course, now people have learned to produce a lot themselves, with the help of special technologies. We create clothes from synthetic materials, build skyscrapers and eat processed, canned and even artificially created food. But is all this really good for us, the children of Mother Nature? And it’s probably not in vain that more and more people are subconsciously drawn to a leisurely life in a green space, to natural food and clothes made from natural materials.
The basis of human life is made up of four elements - water, fire, air, earth. And they all live in nature. The earth gives us so many benefits that it is impossible to even count: minerals, plants, and animals. And in general, the opportunity to farm and live on the land. Our food consists of products of plant and animal origin, and all this is also nature, right?
Almost all modern material goods are based on natural raw materials. Clothing, furniture, appliances, cosmetics, paper, household chemicals - they are all based on natural ingredients.
Water is a great blessing given to us by nature. Seas and oceans, rivers and lakes, glaciers and groundwater. And man himself consists mostly of water, and cannot live a day without it. Without water, life is impossible: washing, laundry, production and housekeeping.
Fire is also a gift from nature. A person receives heat from energy sources in the form of oil, gas, coal and wood.
But not only the physical body of a person is nourished by living nature. It can give us energy and charge us spiritually. In communication with nature, we relax, find peace and balance, and are inspired for new successes and achievements. From the bosom of nature we draw strength for an active and vibrant life.
Remember the happy moments when you felt good and joyful. Sunsets and sunrises in the forest and by the river, swimming in the sea, hiking in the mountains. The sun is the source of happiness and joy, as well as life itself on earth. Isn't this a miracle? There are even people who feed exclusively on solar energy, giving up their usual food.
After hard work, forgetting about the present and important, we go to nature. After all, its harmony can balance our frantic rhythm. At least for a while.
It is difficult to overestimate all the benefits that we receive from nature. And can you now argue that the best things in life come for nothing?
Staying in the mountains or by the sea has a beneficial effect on a person’s health, his well-being improves, headaches and various ailments go away. Picnics, camping, trips out of town, at least for a couple of hours on weekends, are perfect for this. By choosing such a vacation, we renew ourselves, get to know ourselves, understand our feelings and thoughts, and simply receive aesthetic pleasure from contemplating beauty. Need I say how important this is for physical and mental health?
We can take what we need in full. The only thing is, let's not be selfish and thoughtless consumers. And all that is required of us is to preserve and increase the diversity of nature. This is our contribution to the continuation of life on earth.
