Nature is the one thing that is always there no matter what. Since the day we all began nature has been a part of our lives. Nature has given us cures for our ailments, wood for our homes, and oxygen for our life. Without nature we could not live because without the medicines we make out natures goods and food it provides us, we wouldn't survive a week. We wouldn't even survive one minute without the oxygen it provides to us. Nature is the reason we live and the way we make a living. Everything we have has been made or provided by nature. With nature we live but also with nature we are allowed to leave. It is the wear and tear of nature and life that makes our bodies come to an end as well. We live and we die through nature’s trials and attributes. Nature itself takes us when we dies as well if we are buried or have our ashes spread we return to the earth we took so much from. Though nature keeps us alive it is also the spirituality that keeps many alive. Without some kind of passion for life and spiritual uplifting feelings many can go through life in a fog. Spirituality allows many to make sense of their life and give it a true meaning and purpose. When someone feels they have a true purpose for living, it makes life's trials easier to get through because you are more accepting to the fact that it is supposed to happen. Many spiritual people believe that everything happens for a reason, including myself. Being spiritual does not always mean religious in my opinion. It to me can mean that you just are connected with yourself and know who you are and want to be. Religion and spirituality is connected to much in my opinion. I feel they are totally different. They do not need to have a direct connection to one another because they can come from many different outlets.
