Modern human life has become very comfortable and pleasant due to scientific advancement. In a way, science seems to challenge nature itself. Looks like a win.

Many rivers of the earth are dammed. Artificial rain has been made in the sky. Various human organs have been transplanted. Underground railways are built. Space exploration has been done. However, in all these fields, robots and AI are now displacing humans.

In spite of this, it seems that science is innocent in front of nature because no matter how much science advances over the years, a small force of nature makes it chaotic and destructive.

Our ancestors understood the importance of nature. They worshiped nature as a goddess, maintaining its balance and surviving for hundreds of years. Today we pretend to be 'modern' and by declaring an undeclared war on nature, we are creating crisis ourselves.

It is wise for us to stop war with nature and adopt the path of harmony. Learning from the lifestyle of our ancestors, we should be friendly with nature. Otherwise, as history has done, nature may finish us off forever.

Without playing with nature, there is good in people living in harmony with themselves. This truth is the supreme principle of our life. By trying to conquer nature as an enemy, we are pushing ourselves towards destruction. Our path to true well-being lies in coexistence with nature. Nepal's geographical diversity reinforces this lesson. Our cultural heritage, our festivals, our lifestyle – all are connected to the cycles of nature. That is why it is considered real wisdom not to try to conquer nature, but to compromise with it and try to defeat it.  – Indrakumar Shrestha, Okhaldhunga
