You wander onto a beach and wonder “what’s so great about this?” The sun, the heat, the sand—the only difference between here and the Sahara Desert is the horribly salty water (just as drinkable as anything you’ll find in the Sahara) and the stench of dead fish. Nothing here seems fresh.

The wetness in the air, it was disgusting.

You begin to walk along the shore, and as the cool water washes over your feet again and again, you start to notice—the ocean breeze, the sound of the waves crashing...the serenity. How did you not notice it before?

Manmade artifacts could always be imitated by men.

This, however, could not. This feeling cannot be captured by our manmade modern day contraptions. The beauty of nature cannot be replicated. It’s not just the scenery; it’s the experience. You can’t know it until you’ve felt it. In spite of the harsh sand; the thick, hot air; the blinding sun; you feel at peace. As the sun begins to set over the water, you realize that if you just take a moment to look past all of the ugliness, you can start to understand the true beauty of what’s in front of you.
