3 Nature
#4
In the pursuit of a quantity-of-things often people fail to see the importance and benefit of Nature. In the headlong race to create a world of “things”, nature has been abused in many irreparable ways. Countless of Nature’s resources have been lost in the name of progress, and people are beginning to seriously question the ways of the past. Preservation and conservation efforts are increasing as people realize Planet Earth doesn’t have endless resources we can exploit forever.
Perhaps your circumstances haven’t permitted you to be as involved with nature as you might like. Consider your attitudes and interest in nature and its potential contribution to your quality of life. Briefly answer these questions from your current point of view:
1. When was the last time you found yourself out in nature enjoying its resources? Describe the feelings you had at that time.
2. How do you feel about preservation and conservation of Nature?
3. What changes could you make in order to better enjoy the world of Nature and improve your quality of life?
The marvels and beauty of Nature can be appreciated and enjoyed by everyone in your family. With only a little effort to get out of your house or car, you all can partake of its wonders.
“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep Sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more.”
~ Lord Byron
