Was looking out of the window while my friend drove me back home from church and as we passed by King's park, and I saw this patch of grass next to the actual King's park patch. It was super nice, with luscious green carpet grass and beautiful colourful flowers complementing its greenery. Then the scenery of King’s park( just that part) was brown tall trees that seem a little jaded. It got me thinking of how natural beauty is so contradictory of Nature’s beauty. We all perceive natural beauty to be nothing short of a myriad of colours and perfection itself. But have we considered how God’s view of beauty is? Maybe to him beauty lies in its natural form, bug and all.
He created all creatures big and small, surely he must want bugs and grasshoppers to populate his vegetation! So how come we got the idea that a bug-less world is the ideal one? I’m sure that tiny patch of wonder was planted, and not His doing. How on earth would a nice patch lie in the middle of the road, separated from the giant trees? Plus those plants were obviously different from the surrounding trees. Ok better not digress.
Anyway as I was saying, He must have wanted us all to live in harmony, not a world which advocates pesticides and roach-killers. Yes roaches are not exactly the most pleasant insects of all, but do we kill them because we think they deserve death or because we are oblivious to their tiny yet significant life? We certainly don’t have the right to say who deserves to die and who deserves to live…that’s up to God. So should we then let roaches run wild and spread diseases? Of course not, and it is also not in our means to tell the roaches to be hermits. Any living being should have the right to inhabit any area they want, and not be restricted to human laws.
Have we just become humans who want to look at nature through the glass panels of a zoo- safe from all danger and their “barbaric” environment? Its sad how few are able to accept that Nature is not sterile. Nature is perfect: The birds sing songs of joy, ants displaying tiny efforts of teamwork, dolphins smiling at the sky.
Joy comes from these small moments where you can just look in the sky, bask in the sun and say "Its going to be a beautiful day!"
Yeah I say that everyday just to keep me going. Life's so beautiful, what else can I ask for? More time to enjoy these?
