Worth Noting:
- Any attempt to interfere with the nature limit the ability of locals to predict future weather conditions hence leave them ill prepared in case of interpreting the possible occurrences for example cutting down of the fruit trees or burning of forests, poisoning of frogs with an aim of eliminating them pose a threat that you cannot use them to predict.
- There are people who undergo sexual reassignment surgery others get hormone replacement therapy to change from male to female even if they succeed they still encounter challenges due to how the society perceives them for example those who knew you as a male will tend to continue treating you in the old order bringing confusion in how you relate to them in your new status.
A school of philosophy founded in third century BC in ancient Greece and Rome called stoicism advocated the need to understand and be ready to follow the dictates of nature arguing that everything we see or imagine of is rooted in nature and unless we live as per the rules of nature we would incur exorbitant running costs, instability and unsustainability in whatever we do.
True to this those involved in urban planning usually construct roads following the direction of flow of rivers which is a natural phenomenon. To the engineers they aim at reducing the number of bridges to be erected on the road as each of them is costly compared to ordinary tarmacking.
To environmentalists they promote the ideology that indigenous forests should not be replaced with exotic ones and whenever a tree is cut another need to be planted failure to which the land will be left bare, erosion will take place sweeping away rich top soil, food production will be reduced, people will suffer from food scarcity.
Genetically modified organisms are great milestones in technology resulting to eradication of some pests and diseases in crops and animals, increase in productivity but have been shunned by many countries arguing that they negatively impact the natural crops and animals. They are aware that whatever is natural has own survival tactics despite its quantity.
In every part of the world residents have nonscientific knowledge of what to expect under varying natural conditions for example migration of certain birds is associated with start of rainfall, excess fruition of certain trees signals drought season in near future, a look at the length of the shadow they can be able to tell time.

Gravity is a natural force which is known for pulling everything on or near the earth’s surface towards the centre of the earth so it is naturally expected that the flow should be from highlands to lowlands. However some people tend to use fuel or solar powered engines to move liquids like water upstream. Those who fail to analyse and follow the dictates of gravity end up using a lot of resources accomplishing tasks which could have done in an easy way hence making the projects uneconomical.
Civil engineers avoid constructing structures with black cotton soil as the foundation as they are aware of how it expands when watered and contracts upon drying resulting to cracking of the structure on it. Those who fail to completely remove cotton soil before constructing end up regretting once their structure crumbling due to the weak foundation.
