“I believe that abiding by the laws of nature, each part of the universe is running along with maintaining a profound harmony, and a delicate design. Humans are also part of that subtle mechanism. I perceive that the world could be a better place to live in if humans nourish the symphony of nature, to keep the synergistic interconnection between earthlings and earth.”
