LEARNING FROM NATURE - INCREDIBLE LIFE LESSONS FOR GLOBAL PEACE
Over the years, I have learnt some incredible life lessons from nature and I'd love to share because I've seen that there’s indeed a lot to learn by everyone. Enjoy!
The world needs to sit back and observe again nature’s course, discover truths and apply the lessons to our lives by which we can promote global peace.
Discrimination and segregation have been placed tops of the many hindrances to global peace despite the selfless and worthy efforts of our heroes’ past.
Martin Luther King (1929 – 1968) Non-violent civil right leader; Nelson Mandela (1918 – 2013) Anti-apartheid leader; Frederick Douglass (1818 – 1895) Anti-slavery and equity leader; Mary Wollstonecraft (1759 – 1797) Women’s right mover and many others fought against this course, but the question is, have the benefits of their struggles been erased from our hearts on account of their demise?
Or how else can one explain why people are still being deprived of certain privileges on the same grounds (sex, race, religion, colour etc.) these leaders tried to abolish?
I discovered that among all nature’s creation, “human beings”, despite the privilege of been richly blessed with sound intelligence to think and act, seems to be the weakest of all because it has cherished hate, division, war, discrimination and segregation above love, unity, hope and peace which binds and makes any people stronger.
BEAUTY IN DIVERSITY

My lessons were drawn from observing the behavior of celestial creatures. I discovered the secret behind the beauty of the Rainbow and why people so much admire it.
I saw that it’s the systemic harmony of its different colours that actually makes it that beautiful and it taught me the quality of appreciating “beauty in diversity”. Who would have loved the Rainbow if it was just yellow, red or blue?
The rain also taught me that the lifestyle, gender, size, religion, race, colour of people shouldn’t circumscribe me from rendering my help. The rain falls on the farms, homes, offices and other properties of both the good and bad, regardless of their different attitudes.
The sun and moon further proved that point by helping me understand that one may never know how one’s ability or of others can contribute in transforming the world and make it more different and unique. They both radiate at different timings to illuminate the earth freely and genuinely.
They are always in harmony regardless of their different temperatures and functions and when there’s an eclipse, it always appears more like a dialogue than a war which fascinates people that they gaze so intently as though to peep on the conversation of the sun and moon. How wonderful!
The world needs to regain its peace, love, hope and be united again. We need to learn from all that nature teaches by consciously observing for ourselves and applying the lessons to our own lives. We need to teach our children and the younger generation to see as nature sees and appreciate the beauty in the differences in people's attitudes.
We are all gifted and unique in our own different ways and as such should not be expected to behave in the same way. We need to embrace our differences, harness our individual potentials and ideology, contribute positively to the earth's progress and above all, cherish the beauty in our diverse nature so we can uphold the movement of living peacefully in a peaceful world.
No more war, no apartheid, no killings...Just LOVE
