There is no prioritization in seasons and all of them are equally important and necessary. In addition, seasons pay no attention to our benefits.

Billionaires have preceded each other and managed the world based on the axis of nature. Up until 150-200 years ago, children of Adam adjusted themselves to the nature and coordinated their life and work with the passing of seasons. Long-term experiences have taught us how to deal with the cold of the winter and tolerate the heat of summer. We knew how to use the spring and fall to our benefit and adjust ourselves to the axis of nature.  

Life of farmers truly highlights this adjustment. We change our situation with the passing of time and benefit from the advantages while defeating the disadvantages of nature. However, as soon as mankind governed the nature, we thought it is necessary to stand against the passing of time and manipulate the nature instead of adjusting to it. In the past, raining was followed by taking an umbrella in order not to get wet. Today, the advancements in science and technology have urged the human beings to intervene with the course of nature and change the coldness and heat. Specifically, we fought the heat with high costs of the cold and vice versa. Inconsiderate use of fuels has put the earth at risk. Our ancestors learned from the future how to deal with difficulties. Nevertheless, the scientists of the new era have come to the conclusion that the earth can be changed the way they want it. They also conclude that the costs of this change goes to the nature. They changed the world as far as possible in the past century, which has been associated with the destruction of jungles, endangerment of animals, ozone depletion, and air pollution. On the other hand, excess extraction of oil from lands, destruction of forests, creation of toxics, invasion of region of animals and excess distribution of asphalt have put the nature at risk and changed the course of seasons. Nevertheless, the only achievement after 150 years has been the worrying increased temperature of the earth. Environmental crises are serious and most of the have been caused by the manipulations of the human beings. The earth is in a critical condition, which has been caused by scientists. The capital system has recruited scientists to increase the income achieved from the nature. At the end, a destructed and fragile world has been left for mankind. On the other hand, water crisis threatens our lives. Moreover, different species of animals and plants are endangered. Even the life of mankind is threatened. In addition, the nature was more powerful than men.

Still the human beings have failed to completely change the nature. Even the simplest regulations cannot be changed. Today, many scholars believe that using the traditional measures might be more effective and there should have been adjustment instead of change. Many scientists now believe that the best reaction on rainy days is to take an umbrella. We failed to change the nature and cannot deal with its great costs. We just need to learn from the nature and use this interesting repetition and sequence in our lives. The nature is the best teacher. Fall and winter kill the earth and the cold dries out the plants and make the earth cold. It does not matter since the spring comes and everything comes back to life again. Life will be observed in the earth, blossoms will bloom and the dead earth will be alive again. This course of life and death has been repeated so many times that we can hope that the nature could deal with the manipulations of mankind and go back to life. Spring increases our hope by bringing life to dead. Let’s say we have hurt the earth, it does not mean that the spirit of the nature is gone. The spring has come.
