Sometimes when I’m traveling I try to look this world in very open mind and think about people. And I imagine how much innocent these people and I wish all people would be happy and healthy for their whole lifetime. Simply I just imagine a day that whole the world become happy and not even a small animal suffering from any thing. Actually the feeling I acquire by doing such activity is wonderful and my mind get more relax and happy and its like a maithree mediation. But I think about one more thing which is not defined in the mithree meditaton. That is about the nature and I do the same wish for the nature as well.

I love nature more than people. Because I feel nature is more innocent than people and I believe it is a part of me. Today people are choosing a path to go with methods of containment, manipulations, modifications, and dominations with modern high-end technologies and totally disconnected from nature. And the important question to be asked is do they know exactly where they are going? As a human being I asked that question several times from me and still I couldn’t find a answer. I know how much I’m disconnected from nature and sometimes I hate my job which I have to do in a air condition environment and whole the day computing in front of a computer. Because I want to be with people, natural air, trees, flowers, breeze, rain, sunshine, animals and I don’t want to live in a artificial world. In past days people were more attached with nature and they identified that living is like a wonderful and pleasant business with nature with mutual understanding and respect. As I believe today also people are doing businesses with nature but without having understanding and respect. In any kind of activity they tend to think only about what they can take. But they forget that they are trying to ignore a part of their life.

So I propose to whole people in this world to practice the blessings for nature as a meditation and try understand the feelings of nature and give even a small consideration for that. That will protect you in your whole life.

Actually in our life we are always seeking happiness because we feel we are not happy. Every day every time in every event we are seeking it and we are expecting it. But as Roa says the happiness is hard-wired with us not with any outside person or activity. But we don’t know that because we are just packed with if-then model. As Roa says the if-then model is like we are always thinking if this happens I will be happy. For example if I become a multi milliner then I will be happy, if I win the race I will be happy, if I pass the exam I will be happy like that.
So the Roa says that we are mostly investing in the outcome which is beyond our control rather than investing in process. So it’s good to make our happiness depend on a thing which is under our control that is investing in process. Then if you achieve the outcome you will be happy and even you don’t achieve it still you are happy. Roa is giving a good example like this. When we are going to the nature we are happy. For example by looking at a rainbow we feel happy. But we don’t feel like if the rainbow will rise in south region then I will be happy. Because we know it’s beyond our control and we accept the nature for a while and happy.
