Let's impart togetherness in our kids

The idea of bliss in life comes from the fact that we all whether consciously or just naturally are driven by a force called “togetherness” – the prime example of which is that of the nature and the human being, which come together and create the world around us. Without nature, we as humans can’t exist and we shall not be able to find the purpose of life, should it not be for the nature which selflessly provides us the way of living life.

Nature in it’s essence is what drives our life. From something as basic as food to something as important as fresh air that we breathe, without nature – we’re bound to feel helpless.

I remember my grandfather teaching me how nature is our best friend and we shall in return, give something back to the “mother earth”. I must be just 5 years old when he said this but I still remember.

I remember my grandfather used to tell time by just looking at the rays of the sun, he could also tell whether it’ll rain today or not, he was so close to the nature that for him – the animals around the house were a part of his daily routine, he’d take care of the cows and the buffaloes and if for instance, a cow fell sick – it would refuse to eat but when my grandfather would go and feed it, the cow NEVER refused.

Which tells us that the real togetherness does not simply exist between just humans but supersedes between human and animals/humans and nature.

The teachings from nature are so simplistic that we often overlook it but it’s a fact that in our day to day life, we get to experience the real “togetherness” in nature. A bird preparing nest for it’s unborn child, a dog searching food for it’s puppy, two flowers merging and creating a new flower – this in the true sense is the togetherness in nature.

We need to realize as humans that for the nature that gives us so much, we must as well work together with nature and overcome it’s problems. Problems such as pollution, which is destroying the very nature that is keeping us “together” – is it an unjustified demand!

It’s time that we overcame the world of facebook and teach our kids about creating a relationship with the nature and nurturing it for our future generations. After all, nature is what we have borrowed from our future generations.

With the Diwali coming and the air pollution to be at it’s peak  - let’s pledge that we shall save the nature this Diwali and celebrate by giving something back to the nature. Hey, how about planting a tree!

It’s time to impart these values in our kids so that they can instill the same in theirs and create a much more stronger nature and give the apt definition to “real togetherness”.
