Cycle of Life and Death

Nature and spirituality play a very large role in the cycle of life and death. If you think about it, pretty much your whole life you live around nature. Nature is everywhere you look. It is there when you are born and it is there when you die. Nature's role in the circle of life is very important. The circle of life is the cycle that everyone goes through of being born, living your life, and then dying. When you are born, it is a natural process. You live your life and all around you there is nature. Man tries to separate from nature a lot in life, but it is not possible to completely separate your self from nature because it is literally everywhere. As soon as you walk out side of your house, you are back in nature. I enjoy spending time outside and in nature so a lot of my life is spent with nature. When you die, you return back to nature. You are buried in the ground and therefore, you return back to nature. In my environmental science class, we are learning about the circle of life and how when an animal dies, it provides food for other animals. When an animal dies in the forest, part of their body can be eaten by other animals or decomposers and the other part of the animal's body goes into the ground to become a part of the soil which provides food for trees and other plants. The trees and plants then provide food for other animals.I think that this is a good example of nature playing its role in the circle of life. I think that humans try very hard to detach themselves from nature all throughout their life, by living in houses with air conditioning and couches and televisions and indoor plumbing instead of outside in nature, but I think that in the end, we all return back to nature when we die and are buried in the ground. I think that nature is always present in the circle of life.
