Nature is peaceful. It does not rush. It is patient, and waits for the passing of time, just like plants can become overgrown over time. People's personal ideas and thoughts develop naturally. It is pointless to rush into things since something natural can survive on its own. Ideas can surround a person over time if they become habits. Nature sometimes surprises us. Those who are unmoved by the natural passing of things are shockingly impatient. We should not underrate the pace of nature and try to understand more about how things develop on their own.
