They are constantly denying natural abundance, though they live on it.
They like progress but strongly dislike natural disruptions.
Long ago, I was posted in the areas mostly affected by floods in rainy seasons. Standing crops and precious shelters were destroyed regularly, but people had rich harvests for crops sustaining the floods and crops raised subsequently. Farmers were talking about how floods were beneficial to their soils, and loss was twice compensated by the natural phenomenon itself. There was indeed a lot of crying when floods created dreadful scenes in hundreds of square kilometres. Once this scene was over, people were happy to have all the luck in that.
Knowing about this story, I inferred that natural disruptions do occur, but not without other benefits.

People habitually talk about bad weather, storms, landslides, low rainfall, and all other disruptions without examining how things are reshaped thereafter, mostly in new designs with added benefits.
It is thus easy to conclude that people are experts in denial of what they have, crazy about what they do not have, and repeat the stories of loss and suffering.

We estimate the loss in seconds, but it takes months to identify the gains from disturbances. Our minds go through faults swiftly and miss assessing goodness that is visible later on.
Things available freely, like air, water, sunshine, rainfall, soil, rocks, minerals, and herbs, usually have no value. When we are not grateful for how oxygen is recycled for our breathing, we can’t expect a person to know the workings of vital organs in their body.
Bodily systems are naturally regulated (24 × 7).
We have no time to look beyond a limit, even in the outside world.
Remember, through practice, we can shift the gear of denial to the gear of acceptance as to how natural systems operate to keep us thriving on this planet.
We refer to most of our teachings in formative stages now and then, but we apply them selectively and hesitantly in real life. Why? The answer is that we don’t expect disruptions to our thinking, lifestyles, culture, skills, and, above all, perspectives of life.
All are right in their styles of living. Many a time, the matter remains unresolved on the grounds of this rigidity.
There is a wide gap between principles and practices. The dominant factor is the variety of fears (inside factors) that grow as we age.
We listen to voices that match our vibes, made over time by those to whom we are connected morally, psychologically, socially, professionally, and personally.
It limits our growth.
We are concerned even with minor health issues, though we are seldom grateful to be in good health most of the time.
We must practice doing the most on the day when we are okay in all respects.
It is a simple method to lean toward favourable things and work on advantages.
We go for more arguments because we have limited knowledge and mostly as told by others, casually.
