Nature is a powerful force, capable of both great beauty and great destruction. But what happens when we view nature without compassion? When we lose sight of the fact that it is human-centered disasters like global warming or extreme heat waves that cause so much devastation?
Without our empathy and understanding, nature can become a source of daunting power rather than beautiful wonderment. We become centerless in the face of natural disasters, unable to see beyond their immense destruction. Without compassion for nature’s power and potential, we forget its inherent beauty and can no longer appreciate its magnificence.
We must strive to find balance between respect for nature and reverence for its beauty. Only then can we truly understand the value it holds within our lives and on this planet as an integral part of our existence.
