1. Nature is impervious to the human condition. It is man’s helplessness, which attributes a11 sorts of reasons, benign or malignant, to nature to make sense of its fur y and power .
2. Nature is repetitive; man is innovative.
3. Nature abhors peace and reminds man, from time to time, of its enormous powers by visiting disasters and death upon him.
4. Man makes nature sublime in his wishes and whims, because he is weak.
5. For our savage ancestors, bellicosity was essential for survival against hostile forces of nature. We have the same instinct intact in all its ferocity, but without justification after taming the nature. This is the cardinal reason for absence of peace in the world. Man is the same brute as ever.
6. Science gives immense power to man over nature in inverse proportion to his greed to misuse it.
7. There is no right to live without work, which is the Holy Grail in our value system of market economy. An idle person is looked upon with ridicule and suspicion. But the irony is that only a person free from worldly cares can really enjoy nature. The society has stopped producing Thoreaus.
8. Nature did not create fragrance or scenic beauty for man to enjoy. Nature is hostile to man who is frail and helpless before the raw powers of earthquakes, volcanoes, floods and hurricanes. The fragrance and beauty are aspects of evolution, which is still taking place imperceptibly without concern to man.
9. How precious it is to feel beguiled by the slowly changing colours of the rising sun spreading light and the lazy heaving waves approaching the shore with stray clouds silhouetted in the horizon and the gulls coming in to catch the fish!
10. Everything in the universe is unique, as a result of evolution and change. Even the death of our sun transforming into an unimaginably colossal and disintegrating ball of expanding mushroom of fire will be spectacularly awe-inspiring and terrible phenomenon, if mankind could evolve into super beings in the coming millions of years, hovering at a safe and vantage point in the space, having arrived there on holiday journey to watch the last throes of a dying sun from their home planets of distant and young stars. The earth will then be their last pilgrimage, having already become uninhabitable millennia ago, before the final blowing up of the sun .
