Valuing little that is abundant and appreciating that which is scarce is the basis for trade. The Human mind is conditioned to think in terms of the market. Nature however does not discriminate.
I remember watching lantana plants growing as a weed on the corners of the road in the Himalayas, Uttar-Pradesh, Tamilnadu and Odisha. I have memories of children playing with these flowers.
As we grow old we learn to appreciate rare things. Yet nature has evolved these flowers into magnificent little beauties that grow with almost no human interference.
It comes in different colors, pink, yellow, orange, red, purple, and blue.
Valuation is a rare skill in the market which takes years to learn.
And to value nature, we need to unlearn.
