THE ART OF APPRECIATION

THE ART OF APPRECIATION

The movie “modern times” which was written, directed and acted by Charlie Chaplin talks to the audience about the impending gloom of modernisation. As we keep on chasing the next best technology, we tend to alienate ourselves from interacting with the nature. As we get involved deeper with technology, we must not forget to appreciate the existence and the role of nature in our lives. You can witness the romance between the nature and mankind in the poetry of  William Wordsworth and William Blake, more recently the poems written by Rupi Kaur captures the parallel between human lives and the nature in her poem, ‘to the reader’ which inspires men and women to embrace the idea that all individuals in society are like flowers, ready to bloom eventually. In order to avoid alienation in an increasingly mechanized society across time and space, it is time to not only look what’s ahead, but what we have left behind in the name of progress and development. In order to understand, where we are going collectively as a society, we must pay attention to the sufferings of the nature, take a detour and detoxify our exhausted minds and souls. The time is nearly perfect to appreciate the role of nature in our lives. Protecting and appreciating nature would further lead to a life of dignity, quality and equality for all existing lives on planet earth.  We must learn, unlearn and re-learn to appreciate  the nature and only then can we fully appreciate our own existence. The world is heading towards another renaissance which is to attain a symbolic understanding of the significance of  both the nature and technology in the lives of human beings. In the beautiful words of Rupi Kaur “stay strong through your pain, grow flowers from it, you have helped me grow flowers out of mine, so bloom, beautifully, dangerously, loudly, bloom softly. However, you need to just bloom”.
