People and nature have long been not two separate concepts, but two common dams in a giant living body called the Earth.
Since the beginning of the world, humans have been nurtured from the mother earth, from rivers, hills, sunlight and rain. Our ancestors used to live in the green forest, hunting, picking, planting and harvesting based on the laws of nature. Every drop of water, every grain of rice brought the breath of the earth and sky. That relationship is a natural, respectful and harmonious attachment, where people clearly understand their limits, do not encroach or break the red line.
However, no matter how tolerated, nature has limits. When storms and floods come, when the sun drops in, burning the fields, or when the air is thick with the smell of dust, we realize how small and weak we are. Every time nature gets angry, regardless of richness or poverty, country or geography, it is not a punishment, but a strong reminder: Live in harmony, do not be greedy and exploit too much.
Respecting nature is not a distant thing, not requiring great actions or grand slogans. It is part of small but meaningful tasks: turn off lights when not necessary, do not litter, plant an additional tree in front of the porch, or simply watch the sunset silently. That is when we truly understand that each butterfly, each leaf, each drop of mist carries a soul and its own value.
People and nature are essentially an inseparable whole. Without nature, people cannot survive. Nature can live without us, but we cannot live without nature. Therefore, living in harmony with the environment is not only a responsibility, but also a way for us to preserve our own life. Like underground water flows under the feet, like tree roots clinging deep into the ground, we and nature are forever an eternal coexisting relationship.
Because one day, if people truly listen to the gentle call from the wind, from the grass, from the quiet river, perhaps we will stop to see ourselves as someone standing outside the universe, but return to do a humble but precious part in the great picture named Nature.
