Happiness is one of the greatest values of people. Joy is something that keeps the light of life in us and helps us to get up every day and to go to work, to communicate with people, to cook and to sleep. It is difficult to take everything with joy and happiness. The modern world doesn’t allow people to keep good and positive view on the world. And there are only a few people who really take everything as positive events and things. And such people are called optimists.
The joy of admiring nature
Nature is full of wonders. It keeps so many views that are able to make people laugh and cry. It gives us so many interesting phenomena that make us happy. Sometimes we don't even notice that. We don't pay attention to all these things presented by nature.
But remember how it is good to watch the blossom of the tree. I am sure almost all people were fascinated by it. So nature is able to make us happy and give us so many presents.
In Japanese culture, nature plays an important role, as according to it, a person may know himself/herself only with the help of nature. And great people become great only after enlightenment that comes with nature. The blossom of flowers and trees, green grass, the waves of the sea, and many other elements of nature are able to bring peace and wisdom to the person.
And nature keeps joy that it presents us. The joy of the snow – without this joy Christmas and New Year wouldn't be so mysterious and fairy. The joy of the rain – without this joy we could forget about good harvest. The joy that comes with the spring after long cold winter restores to life everything including human beings.
Unfortunately humanity doesn't value the joy presented to us by nature and kills nature. Factories, plants, traffic, aerosols and many other things pollute nature causing changes in it and in its beauty. And the result of the human activity is dried out seas and rivers, polluted air, acid rains, contaminated views.
