One always talks of surrendering to nature. There is also such a thing as surrendering to the picture.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I thought surrendering was a weakness; instead it's the strongest thing a man or a woman can ever do, to acknowledge our Creator who's in control of all things.
I want to rethink 'surrender' as an active verb.
A proper respect for nature means that you can't pollute the air, poison the rivers and chop down the forests indiscriminately without suffering greatly.
Nature is under control but not disturbed.
In the country, it feels like you don't have control over nature anymore - nature is in control of you.
In presence of Nature's grand convulsions, man is powerless.
All of our reasoning ends in surrender to feeling.
Nature is often hidden, sometimes overcome, seldom extinguished.
Perhaps we too seldom reflect how much the life of Nature is one with the life of man, how unimportant or indeed merely seeming, the difference between them.
Sentimentality about nature denatures everything it touches.
