We live in needs not in years. If we rest we rust, if we work we shine in use. If we shine, the world acknowledges us famous and fame is the infirmity of human life. We work hard knowing that one crowded hour of glorious life is worth N age without a name. Man is a poor judge of his actions. He does not know which is that particular one crowded hour of glorious life. He starts on a track but fails to reach the destination. He stumbles and struggles.

Where there is time to stand and stare at the delicate bud waiting for the first ray of sun to come and kiss its lips so that it may be blossomed into a full-fledged flower? Where is the patience to bear the trumpet noise of falling a cataract? Who can nights in the open to watch the wandering moon and twinkling stars?

When the man was living in a state of nature, he required some roots of fruits to satisfy his hunger, skins to protect his body and den to shelter himself from the in clemencies of weather. He had necessities multiplied; our comforts and luxuries became manifold. In order to lead a civilized life one has to toil hard. Man wants to make his future beautiful. He forgets Omer Khayyam who said:

"Dead yesterday and uncertain tomorrow... why fret about them".

The competitive spirit and green eyed monster's mentality also push us in the groove of struggle. We want to outshine our neighbor. If one owns a motor cycle then why should not one own a car? There are are very few cases of wind-falls in life. One has to sweat to fulfill his aspirations. Certain section of the people is convinced that the fruits of labor are sweeter then the gifts of fortune. Even divine decree wants us to remember:

"By the sweat of thy brow thou shalt earn thy bread".

There is ethical conviction that an idle man's brain is devil's workshop. Samson's said :

"Go to the ants, thou sluggard"

But in the modern society money is measure of one's greatness. In developed countries like America one’s worth is measured by the rod of money. Who so ever does not earn money called a fool and no one wants to be called a fool. The business man rises up at the peep of dawn and proceeds on to know the market. A scientist does research for years together. He loses his eye sight, gets prematurely old and dies dieaeses-striken. He stands and stares not because he is master of his invention but because the fruit of his labor has been misused to wreck Nagasaki and Hiroshima. A worker does back breaking toil from dawn to dusk, gets poor remuneration and dies unknown. He stands and stares not on the palatial buildings, which he has constructed but his dilapidated hut which moves from place to place. A mystic renunciates the material world does hard penance and tries to know the mystery of the world. The divine light seldom dawns. He stands and stares not to "Halo" but the darkness unfulfilled ambitions.

Nature is neither god nor bad. Nature is a mirror reflecting our own moods. If we are happy, the fading rose flower would also exchange a parting smile. Nature when allowed to play its free role is always destructive.
