Nature is beneficent
By: N. George
Worth Noting:
- Trees are part of nature. All of them have a single or multiple uses which include food, medicine, firewood, wind breaking, oxygen provision, shelter to some animals like birds, wood for construction and prevention of soil erosion through holding together soil particles.
- Whenever you tamper with the way nature works there are repercussions for example cutting down of trees results into reduction of oxygen supply. If the land is left bare both rain water and wind cause erosion, food production reduces as nutrients which are contained in the humus are washed away and it is from these nutrients the crops feed on.
Nature is beneficent. I praise her and all her works. She is silent and wise. She is cunning, but for good ends. She has brought me here and will also lead me away. She may scold me, but she will not hate her work. I trust her………….…….. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Personally I tend to believe that everything I see which is not man made is created by the Supreme Being referred to as God. In its own way it looks wonderful and is always orderly, it is interference of us as men that disrupts the natural order.
Thinking of water cycle, water in rivers drain into lakes and oceans is heated by sunlight, evaporates and forms clouds which accumulates and falls on the ground as rain the surface runoff which flows down the slopes in to the river.
Both wind and water are natural and they cause erosion, transportation and deposition. Whenever erosion occurs it is definite that transportation and deposition happens. The three are interrelated.
If you have a look at the wild you will realise that the herbivores feed on vegetation, carnivores feed on herbivores. In undisturbed natural setup the vegetation, herbivores and carnivores will be relatively balanced at any given time.
Water especially from waterfalls or fountains have therapeutic properties owing to its flowing nature that helps us to relax by making the neurochemicals to flow thereby increasing blood flow to the brain and heart bringing relaxation and release of stress.
The sound of water is naturally soothing with researchers saying that it can guide the neuronal waves in our brains giving them a calming effect.
When you massage your body with warm it offers soothing and relaxing effects for aching joints and muscles.

In addition absence of trees means no wind breakers which at times cause havoc on everything in its path.
On the other hand, planting additional trees will result to increased oxygen in the atmosphere, more food production, reduced surface runoff. In general all the effects of planting trees are positive.
When dealing with waters any contamination for example oil spill in water or dumping polythene bags in water results to death of marine life both plants and animals, poor aeration and toxicity of water.
A look at wild animals they eat and drink in the wild remain healthy and generally live a balanced life. Human beings are natural creatures but whatever they make by their hands is artificial creature. Nature provides us a balanced life what to eat, drink, breath and how to recycle waste indeed nature is both generous and self-sufficient.
