Nature can be defined as a web. It includes every being in our environment and the world starting from high edged mountains to microscopic living things. Nature is filled with endless harmony of anything from the symphony of chirping birds to the sound of waves crashing against the cliffs. It has been a source of inspiration for diverse human beings flooding their minds with creativity and wonder.
There are many questions people ask regarding nature and its rules. People can feel many things within nature. They can feel loved and secure but also can be irritated or annoyed. For example, mosquitos are often irritating when they bite you and make you feel itchy. There have been many ideas to avoid getting bitten by a mosquito such as some sprays or deadly gases. Some people even suggest what would happen if all mosquitos suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth. This has been made the topic of a study and scientist has concluded that no change would happen in case of their disappearance.
I do not agree with this suggestion. Nature has a hierarchy inside which helps it to balance and even itself out. Every being plays a crucial role including mosquitos. Everything helps one another in nature. For example, bees pollinate flowers by collecting the nectar substance from one flower and while carrying that nectar, it visits other flowers which causes the nectar to spread. Another example of this is smaller fish attaching to a larger fish and helping it clear itself out from parasitic bacteria while they enjoy their meal and continue their lives.
Every being in nature is important for the natural hierarchy from the prey to the predator. There is a shamanic saying that “Everything in nature lives for something else.” or “Everything in nature lives for one another.”. Even though mosquitos seem not to be useful for anything inside the natural hierarchy, they definitely are. If we destroy them, the irritation might leave our lives but it would just matter for a few seconds when we remember the old days in which we were bitten by a mosquito but in a few decades, the new generations would not know what a mosquito was which is quite sad. We could argue this topic if it were possible to destroy the mosquito lineage: it is impossible to do that fortunately or unfortunately. Which side do you stand on?
