The interconnectedness of nature, the environment, animals, insects, and humans is a fundamental aspect of our world. We often refer to this interconnectivity as the circle of life.

The science of ‘Naturalism’ endorses the view that we are part of nature and not fundamentally different from the natural world.

It is a delicate balance that must be maintained in order to sustain life on our planet. Nature is the foundation of the circle of life. It provides the resources necessary for all living beings to survive.

The environment, which includes the air, water, and soil, is what makes up the natural world around us. Animals, plants, insects, and we humans all live on and co-own this planet. 🌳🐳☘️🦜🦋

Poet Gary Snyder said it so aptly, “Nature is not a place to visit. It is home.” Truly, home to all the living beings.

Animals are an integral part of the circle of life. They play a vital role in maintaining the balance of nature. Animals help to pollinate plants, control pests, and fertilize the soil.

Earth provides food, clothing, and other resources that we humans use to sustain ourselves. Earth is the source of the materials that we use to build our homes and create the products we use every day. 🌏🌎🌍

We humans are unarguably the most intelligent species on the planet, and we have the greatest impact on nature. It’s we who have the onus to ensure the delicate balance of the circle of life.

There is a Buddhist Saying, “The interconnectedness of all things is a fundamental principle of nature.”

The interconnectivity of nature, environment, animals, and humans makes our world so unique and special. We are yet to come across any other planet, so magnificent, despite many space explorations.

By working together to protect the environment and by maintaining the balance of the circle of life, we can ensure that our planet Earth remains a healthy and vibrant place for generations to come.

‘The Environmental Life’ is one of the five dimensions of life key for our individual and collective happiness, wellbeing and success.💚💛💙
