Nature is my university

I have been studying our natural habitant for a long time. I have been able to understand more about life as a result.

Nature is my university. I can learn all I need to know from our wildlife and the environment that they live in.

I believe that much of our knowledge comes from observing nature. That is why we live in harmony with Mother Earth.

It is getting hard these days to find a place where a person can be alone with nature. Living in harmony with nature is real and honest. There is nothing superficial about it. It took me a long time to learn and understand that.

There is one example I would like to bring to your attention.

The example comes from the ants we see in summer. These little creatures usually live in anthills or on rotting logs. They always live together although at times you will see a lone ant wandering. I think this ant may have been banished from his nation because he was no good.

Ants are hard workers. You can see this by the size of the anthill. Some of them are hunters. At times you will see an ant dragging a caterpillar or fly. He is taking it home to feed the young ones and the other ants that are busy doing something.

All ants seem to have a job. Some are builders, always working on their home. Then there are the females taking care of the young ones.

I suspect the ants also have a well-trained army. These ants are always around the anthill ready to defend their home.

Many people live in cities or big colonies. Others prefer to live in smaller bunches. The differences between people and the ants is that ants do not have to fight or sit around. They have too much to do.

The ants are more organized than people.

1 What I learned from watching the ants is that different forms of life can live together, in either cities or towns.

To be able to live together would be a good thing if people minded their own business and went about their work. We all have to do something useful as our creator intended.

If we do things to help others, then we are helping ourselves. If we can be busy, then maybe we can stay out of trouble.

I have spoken.
