The fundamental element of nature

The variety in nature’s production has always fascinated me. From creating things to support us, humans, to creating us to support its cycle; if there’s an organism with multiple working facets, that would be nature. We living organisms may be diverse in our structure and functioning, but there is more than the ‘urge to survive’ that keeps us connected.

 

“Care” – often underrated, tricky to interpret and hard to withhold. “To care for the fellow being”, is fundamental of our nature, of the living. Spanning across nature’s creations, this single trait appears to have been cut and pasted in almost every living being. Recently, a four-pawed occupant of our community had given birth to two beautiful kittens. Since last week, she has been training them how to hunt for food and escape from speeding vehicles. My indoor cycling expedition happened to be their experimenting apparatus once, and that’s when I got to witness this greatness. The way the cat trained her kittens, - directive and caring and the kittens calling out to one another and saving each other - left me astonished. A being with senses less than ours exhibits this emotion exhibits this beautifully, but we’ve made “I don’t care” into something cool. These little pieces of emotions have made us into what we are and unhooking ourselves from these fundamentals doesn’t make us more human; it makes us inconsiderate.
