We, the humans, have always known that nature is not just a mere ornament in our existence, but that we are its essential and inseparable part. Everything that happens in nature happens also to us.  Humans depend on nature. Not only does it provide us with clothing and food, but it is also our only habitat, our home.
We are all also well aware that nature equally depends on us.  Everything humans do affects nature.  Birds do not like noise, ants do not enjoy moisture, flowers cannot stand darkness, etc.  Not to mention pollution, alienation, violence, wars and so on.
We have gone together through so many literary symbols, metaphors and allegories searching for the truth about mutual closeness.  Millions and millions of pages have been written out exploring the sensitivity of all living creatures.  But we keep not fully recognising that we have similar lives, that by co-existing on Earth we form all together its only living world.
An yet, working and constructing their world, humans have often neglected nature.  For a long time they had not even noticed that they were destroying it.   And when they did notice it, they arrogantly continued doing it. Nowadays, when nature has been destroyed to a considerable extent, when climate has changed, it is more than obvious that we have made a big mistake. Whether in a couple of centuries nature will be a garden of Eden, a wild habitat or perhaps a scorched wasteland depends mostly on humans.
As many times recorded and repeated, and often found in our dreams – trees are mostly green, sunflowers are yellow, and the skies are blue.  Nature has definitely been made to bring joy to all living creatures – plants, animals and especially humans. Indeed, we all worship the sun!”
