We often perceive Mother Nature as wise, calm, and a great mother to all beings on Earth. And she is all those things. Yet, there are more personality traits of hers that we sometimes overlook. She not only exhibits them but also reflects them in other living things. One of these traits is playfulness.
We frequently see nature blossom, spread, and thrive. However, we often don’t consider animals and plants enjoying their surroundings as a significant trait. The best and most vivid reflection of this is how baby animals play. They play with everything—their mothers’ tails, balls, laser lights, and more. Like human beings, they love to play and have fun. One of the scenes that made me realize this was an octopus playing a game. I was already familiar with kittens and puppies, but seeing a sea animal playing was a new experience. Of course, this was due to my limited perspective, as we all know how much Mother Nature loves her children. It was natural for her to spread the ability to have fun.
When we were taking one of our short walks, I asked her about the motivation behind this. She said, “A sense of curiosity and joy brings out fun. Having fun or enjoying something makes the process of learning new things easier. Discovering the world is not just for you, human beings. There are many species of animals that explore their habitats. Just as you may not know their lives, they may not know yours. When the time comes, you’ll meet and observe each other. I don’t like it when things happen sooner than expected. Just go with the flow.” Her answer was longer than usual this time, and her expression was different. However, she wasn’t angry; she wanted to emphasize the importance of balance in the world. We all have enough resources and space. All we need to do is use them wisely.
