What we can learn from the nature

1. Sun

I made up the following line

"People want to shine like the sun without having to burn like the sun."

This is a metaphor to explain the envy people have towards successful people.

They want people's success without the hard work.

The sunshine symbolises success and the sun burning with fire symbolises the hard work that often gets ignored, the sun burning with fire is that "behind the glamour" story that the society is too ignorant to hear.

2. Tip of the iceberg

"Success is like the tip of the iceberg"

3. Moon and the stars

a. being different

I made up a line.

"The stars mock the moon for being "different" but the moon mocks the stars for all being the same."

The moon symbolises that person who is always made fun of for being "different" and the stars symbolise the society.

b. being alone is not bad

I made up a line.

"The moon might be alone but the entire world looks up to the moon."

In another words, those people who are brave enough to walk alone will one day have the world following their footsteps. Even their critics will copy them eventually.

c. Look at those who have less than you.

"The moon feels special when it looks down at the earth filled with darkness but if the moon ever looked up at the sky full of gems, it will begin to feel insecure."

This means we should always look at those who have less than us because that makes us count our blessings whereas looking at those who have more than us makes us complain.

d. Scars

"The moon will lose its shine the day it will complain about its scars."

This means we should grateful for what we already have. Happiness is appreciating what we already have. We should thank god for what we already have instead of complaining about what we don't have.

Imagine, if the moon became insecure after the stars bully the moon for having scars?

e. Power of one person

I made up a line

"The moon might be alone but it has the ability to block the sun's light and influence the waves, something the stars and the galaxies can't do."

This means we should never underestimate anyone.

f. Sharing sadness

This line is from google

"Everybody wants to be the sunshine but why not become be the moon that shines in the darkest hour."

This means be the person who is there during sadness just like the moon in the darkness. The moon represents a friend and the dark sky represents sadness.

g. We remember our loved ones only in difficult times and sometimes forget them when the difficult time is over

My own line

"The moon is present even during the day but we remember the moon in darkness and as soon as the sun rises, we forget the moon again and become busy with our lives."

h. Importance of light

Heard this in a Indian drama

"We understand the importance of light because of darkness just like we understand the value of good because of evil."

g. Sacrifice

Urdu poetry

"Losing for someone else in love is not surprising because even the sun bows down to let the moon shine."

h. Believe in yourself

A line from Twitter

"The sun is alone but it still shines."

i. Never give up

I improvised the line

"The rising sun proves it is never too late to rise up again, shine and conquer after falling down."

j. You have to be complete first

My line

"In order to help others in darkness the moon has to complete itself first."

k. Good people spread love in their tests and trials

"The moon shines no matter what phase it is in"

l. Embrace your imperfections

"If the moon can embrace its scars then why can't we embrace our imperfections."

m. Journey

Look at people's journey not just their destination. It takes the moon time to be a full moon.

n. Fake friends

Everybody remembers the moon when it is full but nobody remembers the moon during its journey of becoming complete.

This means people admire us only when we are successful but they are not there during our journey.

Last but not the least- The most famous line

"the darkest hour produces the brightest stars."

Please feel free to add more lines if you want to.

Nature is trying to tell mankind something, if only we can pause and put our phones down to admire the beauty of nature and learn the hidden messages the creator is trying to convey in our hearts since the era of Adam and Eve. The law of natures is still the same.
