What You Can Learn From Wildlife

I love watching wildlife. It’s so beautiful to me. But have you ever thought about what you can learn from it? We are humans and we often think of ourselves as the most advanced species, but are we really?

Here we are destroying our earth with chemicals and greed. We damage people’s lives with our anger and our words with no thought of how it will affect the world around us.

Yes, nature kills, but only enough for it to eat, or to defend itself and its extended family. They take the time to rest and to play, even the ferocious lion. They taste and enjoy the fruit of the land. They do not sit and suffer; they work every day to build their homes and provide for their children. They do not take more than they need. As one animal dies, another animal will gather their remains so that their children can survive. Every being on earth has its purpose, everyone fulfills its role.

Ponder that today as you are going through your busy day and think about what you can learn from wildlife.

    Dear Nik,

    You are absolutely right about people not considering the planet and its people. Animals by instinct know that they have to stick together to survive. They take only what they need and do not hoard (except for squirrels and raccoons…lol). I have watched many videos on Youtube that display the caring of animals for other animals outside their own species, and for people. It is touching–almost as though the animals are angels. I think of how much joy Faith the dog brings to her owners and to those fans with whom she comes into contact each day. Yes, we have a lot to learn from the animal kingdom.

    Thank you.
    Freda
