How are we, humans, similar to nature?
Do you know that generally, butterflies do not fly when it is raining outside because it damages their wings.
Isn’t it beautiful?
There’s a beauty in slowing down things in life and resting your body and soul when it needs it. There's beauty in knowing when to stop, it's in resting when you can't continue, it's in believing that you are also the nature at very first place.
Today's society has made us believe in over working and running a exhausting race we weren’t never part of. It’s the Western societies that made us believe that the purpose of our being alive is achieve, work and make money.
But if you really see, the most indigenous cultures in the world promote slow living!!because they believe that we are like the rest of the nature.
Our purpose of being alive is to experience, to feel things, to be beautiful and be magically imperfect just as the rest of nature.
Usually we don't complain about the unsymmetrical branches of the trees or textures of the bark, or un-straightened wings of the flies or petals of a flower. Then why do we expect ourselves to be perfect?
We, humans, were always a part of nature as much as any flowers or butterflies. We have our beautiful things to carry just the way flowers carry scents and butterflies carry their wings. And when time comes, nature also needs rest.
Trees go through falls in the autumn only to grow back better in the spring. Butterflies rest during rains only to fly when the sun shines even brighter. So just as rest of the nature, we too are meant to rest during the storms of our life.
Hustling and over doing things are man-made priorities that are been appreciated these days. But we weren't made for it at the first place. And we might not yet be aware of the beautiful things we have, but we need to protect it in order to fly again. And maybe just like that, we become nature ourselves.
