Article Body:
Nature is one of the greatest sources of happiness. In fact, humans had lived in
the lap of nature for millions of years and their stay in modern cities is
comparably very very short. Still now majority of them lives in close proximity to
nature. In fact, human race is dependent upon nature for its very survival (plants
recycle carbon dioxide into oxygen; our food is a product of nature; and we can
survive under a very limited range of variables of nature like temperature, etc.)

Nature is all free! It is there for everybody to stand and stare and derive
happiness and solace from. It does not distinguish between rich and poor, strong
and weak, man and woman. Silvery sun is free, golden moon is free, cool breeze,
warm seashore, imposing mountains, smooth flowing rivers, dark and inviting
forests, all are free.

It is free, not because it is cheap, but it is rather priceless.

How much would it cost to make only an artificial island with rivers, forests,
mountains, and surrounding ocean?

Billion dollars, zillion dollars?

Can one make it? And if one can and afford, will he give it to humanity free to
enjoy? Will he not charge some entrance fees? How much?

When we see the moon, we see it in its entirety, no matter how many millions of
people are seeing it at the same time. Has God made a separate moon for each of
us, or is it only one moon which each of us somehow sees as his own individual
moon? And similarly, the sky, the sun, the ocean, rain and sunshine, all are there
for us to possess fully. Each can stare at the sky and claim all of it for his or
her happiness. It is all his or her.

Nature understands your moods. If you are sad, it is also sad with you. But it
does not make you sadder. It does not lead you to further despair. It applies
gentle balm to your wounds. It sits besides you like a mother, spouse, brother or
sister, or a friend and embraces you, talks to you, listens to you patiently,
empathizes with you. Slowly it lifts your spirits, makes you to see your little
woes, worries, and wounds in the right perspective of infinite time and space. You
smile; you laugh; and you are happy again!

I am sure, you are keeping your money in the bank and this bank balance gives
pleasure and happiness. Even when this money is lying idle or tied down in
investments. Sometimes it is money just on paper, as, for example, the value of
shares and bonds. When you need something, you withdraw the money and exchange it
for some pleasure and happiness. Well, all this is good.

Yet do you realize that infinite beauty and happiness is lying around you in the
form of nature?

Do you appreciate this fact and draw happiness out of it?

BE HAPPY!
