Nature Is Effortlessly Perfect

The sky is beautiful without trying to be;

so are trees, mountains, the sea.

·

They do what needs to be done

without trying to impress anyone.

·

Does the sun shines to give warmth?

No; it just shines.

·

Do trees grow fruit to benefit anyone?

No; bearing fruit is their nature.

·

Does the mountain stand tall

while saying “look how tall I am?”

·

It doesn’t even care

whether it’s tall or not.

·

When the sea is polluted with chemicals,

the water doesn’t complaint.

·

When cement is poured over the ground,

the earth feels no anger.

·

Why are they so peaceful

when things go “wrong?”

·

Why are humans clouded with emotion,

while nature is effortlessly perfect?

·

“Of course, they aren’t human beings!”

is a reflexive answer that leads nowhere.

·

There is so much that can be learned from them,

even though they have no intention to teach.
