Artificial
, man – made objects can never be as beautiful as the works of nature . God made the fields , the birds ,
the mountains , the rivers , the valleys . What did man do ? He only made the
buildings that sit on God’s creation .
Take
a look at our cities : the creation of man . They are ugly manifestation of
hustle and bustle , hurry and flurry and a mechanical lifestyle . They are the
cause of noise and pollution . Wherever man has established human settlements ,
he has brought with it innumerable problems . And what is worse , in order to
construct his so called creations , he does away with all the elements of
nature that make life so beautiful . Man fills his surroundings with stone and
cement and dirt and smoke , creating massive concrete jungles , and tarred four
– lane highways .
On
the other hand , the country side provides soothing silence or the pleasant
noises of nature, fresh air , wholesome and nourishing food , simplicity ,
happiness and contentment . In fact , it is only the simple rural folk who know
what true labour is , what true appetite
is , what true satisfaction is , and what sound sleep really is . This is
because they are in harmony with their environment . They have not interfered
with God’s creations and , as a result , enjoy the simple gifts of nature .
Blessed
indeed are they who live in the midst of surroundings created by God !
