The nature of man is unique. It is ingrained with selfishness and greed. It has a sense of competition that isn’t healthy. The problem compounds when humans want not just to move forward, but rather to move forward alone. They do not want anyone else to move forward with them. In addition to this, they sometimes wishfor the downfall of others. This has led to strange behaviours that we have seen only in humans.
The other creatures on this planet don’t seem to face this issue. The sun casts its light and warmth. Birds sing songs in the morning that give us joy. With each shift of night and day, plants give us oxygen, facilitate the movement of breeze and bring nature to life. All of these gifts are offered absolutely free of cost.
When a Koel bird sings its song, it doesn’t do it to sell it. She does it simply to express her joyous nature. Famous speakers, on the other hand, offer their talks for a fee.

While dancers perform for recognition, peacocks dance-independently of no reason. Sometimes they do so simply because it rains, and their feathers spread in full bloom because they enter a happy state of consciousness.
When one does something for their pleasure, they are not concerned with the benefit they would receive from it. They do not associate it with greed or jealousy. However, humans have started to associate most actions with a benefit to be received. It is this very behaviour that has created stress and subsequently, depression. It is this stress in turn that requires some people to usemental health aids like sleeping pills. Have you ever seen a bird or animal in need of a sleeping pill? Have you ever seen the circadian rhythm of an animal get broken? Why does this only happen to humans? It is because we associate so many of our transactions, relationships and endeavours with a cost and benefit.
Surprisingly, we see this even in love. When a dog loves its owner, it does so selflessly. But humans often have wants associated with love. And when these wants are not met, they get frustrated. The anger leads to stress which leads to depression.
In order to escape these cycles, one must spend more time in nature. Nature provides insights into many of our conundrums. People who are connected to nature seldom get disturbed. Re-establish your symbiotic relationship with nature and become aware of the river of energy that flows within you.
