Nature Vs Nurture

Mere looking at these two words and pronouncing them, we see that they have some kind of similarities in both their spellings and pronunciation however they are quite different from each other when looked upon in details. I can say I know the meaning of Nature as being the natural order and way that things should happen while Nurture is to be used to parenting, the way a parent raises his/her children - well, these are the layman definition i would give when asked the definition and I didn't really hit the nail on the head but in this article of mine, I would like to do some digging into them and want to share my results. 

What do we understand by the word "Nature" and also by the word "Nurture" ?- consciousnessly, we must have all heard of the words and they are not strange or odd to us but do we know the meaning?
Nature can be said to be the inborn characters of a thing that is meant to develop according to its own constitution without the interference or addition or help from technology - in summary, the Nature of a character is what it is meant to be and what it will be without interference from any factor which is artificial or forced..
Nurture can be said to be the external influence that is contributing to the development of a character through Care, nursing and/or nourishing.
..... With these being said, we can draw out an inferential conclusion that Nature is allowing a character to develop and propagate by itself through it natural laws and innate traits while Nurture is the traits and pattern a character has through and from the influence of external factors.

NB: The usage of " Characters" here mean diverse things, with reference to Behaviours, Organisms, Lifestyle, Growth,  etc

Allowing a character to bloom by its natural law or influencing the growth ? All things been said, Growth is essential and paramount. Growth is expected from everyone and and from every aspect of life ... Growth is our evidence of character development and progress that we have to show for clarity and work well done. Having a character grow while left to it natural laws gives respect and uniqueness, it tells a story of trust.

We are surrounded by the works and wonders of nature ranging from the weather to the forest to the sea to even us, Humans our selves. We are product of nature as it is what we are meant to be and we are following the natural rules of life; we eat when hungry, sleep when sleepy, drink water when thirty and so on. 

Nurture on the other hand tells a story of Help and Upliftment, helping a character to grow and develop in addition to its own effort while adding ours in order to show and bring out the best out of the character.

Nature nurtures us ( Humanity ) as well as also, we nurture Nature. Everything works hand in hand and in unity, for the Upliftment and glory of each other. Nurturing at times can be the best of options in terms of growth as all hands are on deck including external factors and innate factors as compared to Nature which is pure inborn.


Parents nurture their children and shape them into what they grow up to become while Nature also plays its own part on the development of the children. We should learn to embrace them all.and use them for our growth and benefits, they are all.gifts to us.

Thanks for reading and for your time , do have a nice day ahead.

This is really good A parent's effort to nurture a child must not forget the effect of nature on such a child too

That's helpful for many people because its a sounding same word but it has different meanings, a lot of people might be mistaken for the spellings.
