A
bright and sunny day in the swamps of Arizona is an artist’s delight.
But if it’s raining heavily, that very delight becomes a nightmare for
him.
Nature is unique and the biggest
gift it gives us is the
opportunity to take a journey
that leads us to existences
beyond nature. What is that
journey and what are those
existences?
Weather affects many things amongst which count the beauty of the place as
well as the health of the living beings. A very interesting fact is that human
beings can actually compare and find the similarity amongst the weather and
their health. For instance, if the sun is beating down very hard on a Mayday
and we have been working hard without shelter, there is a possibility of us
catching fever. When the mercury level rises beyond mercy, our body
temperatures also rise - call it fever or just say, ‘I am not feeling well’. On the
other hand, if the temperatures have dropped, our body temperatures also
drop. We feel cold and hence look out for some warmth. In case we have
been under the bare rain without shelter, we often complain of a running
nose. The running nose and the rain, the fever and the solar heat, don’t they
all reflect a pattern of similarity? A running nose is often accompanied by a rise
in the mercury level, which means that the body is trying to recover from the
sudden cold shock by bringing in some heat therapy. This is a natural process
and behavior that happens in our body.
But then the question arises, why isn’t there any warmth when it is raining
heavily or why aren’t extremely cold temperatures accompanied by heat. The
answer is that there are various seasons on Earth and each season is very
crucial to the habitat. Our body, made of the five elements of nature, just like
earth, is and does easily adjust to the different seasons in a year. The health
problems mainly surface during change of seasons or a sudden weather
change during a season. While change of seasons is a natural factor, sudden
and abnormal weather changes during a season are happening frequently of
late due to environmental imbalances caused out of hazards such as pollution,
