The Importance Of Mother Nature

Improved Essays
Mother Nature most of the time is beautiful, sweet, and loving, but sometimes brushes with mother nature could leave you not functional at all or could be even fatal, this is a lesson I had to learn the hard way. Ever since I was little, I have been thrilled by the beauty of nature and the sea that we had in the city where I lived. I would have never thought that nature would harm me in any way. However, due to my constant foolishness and recklessness, I always found myself in deep trouble. While I was trying to enjoy the beauty of nature, I felt like nature was pushing me away and telling me to stop. My experience with nature when I was little was horrific.

We traveled from Alexandria, Egypt to Marsa Matrouh. We got there at 10 am and the first thing we did was to go to the beach. When we got there, the view of the beach was breath-taking, it was absolutely magnificent. I felt the sea 's call and got hypnotized by it just like how the old sailors from the stories got hypnotized by the mermaids …show more content…
I started swimming deeper and deeper while my family had no idea where on earth I was, they started disappearing from my eyesight and the only sound I could hear was the sound of waves. I got really scared and my legs could not even touch the ground. At this point, I did not know what was going on, what should I do? Should I just give up and let myself sink and die since I don’t know how to swim and my family cannot even see me. I tried to keep myself calm and try to float on the surface of the water, but I felt like something is pulling me toward the deep side of the sea. All the excitement that I felt at the beginning turned into a dreadful feeling. My whole body was shaking and all I heard was the beat of my heart. At this time, when I was on the brink of death, the only thing that I thought about was what would my mother and my father feel if I

    Burnt, peeling skin slipped off my sun beaten arm. A salty tear dropped down my face, and I swallowed it, soaking in every bit of bitter liquid I could taste. I squinted, the sun capturing my green eyes at a glare. I reached over and grabbed my sunglasses, protecting my damaged eyes from the harmful UV rays. Suddenly, the world came into view.…

    Imagine sitting under a large oak tree with the wind blowing against your face, white daisies blooming, and hummingbirds chirping all around you. Transcendentalists would view this experience with zeal because they believe that the world around them is august and that they can connect with God through it. Mary, I am aware that you disagree with these beliefs and consider it a waste of time to engage in nature. However, if you give the Transcendentalist ideas a chance, you are sure to change your mind and fall in love with the beautiful appearance and tranquil essence of the environment. Absorbing the beauty of our surroundings allows individuals to relax and clear their minds.…

This is their world and their most valuable resource is not in the ground; it is us. After all, money is not what drives them, its power; money is simply the tool they use to control us; worthless pieces of paper we depend on to move, feed and entertain ourselves.…

    Some may argue that people interact with nature in an overall positive way because of the poem titled, “When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer” by Walt Whitman, and how it shows that humans interact with nature in a positive way. However, when people do interact with nature, it is usually in a negative way and they tend to take the Earth and all it has to offer for granted, as shown in “My Life as a Bat” by Margaret Atwood, because people's feelings for bats are almost always negative, as well as in Hope for Animals and their World by Jane Goodall, because of how the American Burying Beetle has gone down in population. People interact with nature a a negative and horrible way.…

    Upwards, your lungs craving air; the muscles in your body ache as you emerge up to the surface. Take a breath, feel the air rush back into your lungs, colour rush back into your cheeks. You were dying - only for a moment, but you were drifting away, being engulfed into the murky darkness. It will happen again, someday. Everyone gives in at the end, they claw at the water, resist with the small ounce of energy they have left, hold on the lonely drop of hope in all their minds despair; but sooner or later their eyes roll back, they feel nothing but numbness, they let the water take them, pull them, drag them down like it did to all the other lonely souls that were once just like you.…

    Ariel Salleh in her article “Sustaining Marx or Sustaining Nature?” explains the ideas of Marxist thought as articulated through a response to John Bellamy Foster and Paul Burkett. In her article, Salleh explains the notion of the “Great Chain of Being,” which is essentially a hierarchy of roles where God is placed at the top and men are not far beneath. Additionally, anything below the level of mankind (or men) is perceived as instruments aiding the higher levels to accomplish their any desire. Furthermore, Salleh discusses how this idea has influenced the thought of society into thinking that woman are inferior and are seen as separated from men and apart of nature as a means to an end. Moreover, Marx’s theory revolving around the production…

    When you visualize kids today, what do you picture? Do you see them frolicking outside with sunshine hitting their skin and imagination pumping through their veins? Or do you see them slouching on a sofa, glued to a bright screen, and with a glaze over their eyes? We often criticize those children on tablets and smartphones for not being outside much, but we are just as guilty of going outdoors less ourselves. In Florence Williams’ The Nature Fix: Why Nature Makes Us Happier, Healthier, and More Creative, she takes a look at the effects nature has upon us.…

    I was shocked into the deepness of the water and the colors. After the trip to the beach that morning, (which by the way was just down the street) we took a hard earned rest. I laid on the couch but sleep did not come, or perhaps, I did not let it come. After what felt like an eternity, we finally got ready to go on our first swimming trip to the beach! I was so excited that I was telling my mom to drive faster!…
