Nature

'God must have thought of birds when he created the trees. That's why there is no tree without a bird and there is no world without trees. But the world can well survive without humans. Even the existence of the insect that attracts birds to the tree is more essential to nature than human. Indeed, if we were to be erased from the face of the earth today, the nature would continue functioning just the same. But if the bugs disappear, there's nothing left. Maybe the reason man is always looking for a place outside of this world, creating a heaven and a hell away from here is because there is no place for him in this world...'An audio excerpt from 'Dangerous Thoughts', a book written by Bedrettin SimsekTranslated by Sila Erol
