Humanity should be grateful to nature because it is the direct connection with our vital and spiritual functions.
Creativity is one of the most natural means that allows us to communicate with our inner world and the environment around us. We are all gifted with creativity and when it is not repressed it has the strength to make us stay in a harmonious relationship with things and with others, promoting awareness and inner peace. Nature deserves respect however because it nourishes the body and soul of living beings.
From nature we receive all the raw materials useful for our sustenance and the opportunity to live in harmony with the environment around us, which hosts us. This is why it is important to respect nature and the environment in which we live, because we are part of it. By respecting nature we respect ourselves.
