“Nature does nothing uselessly”
— Aristotle

Simplified Meaning:
Everything in nature has a purpose or a role, and nothing exists without reason. Think about bees, for example. Bees make honey, but they also help plants grow by spreading pollen. Without bees, many plants wouldn't grow, and we would lose a lot of food. Even a small insect like a bee has an important job. This idea can help us see value in all things, even the ones that seem small or unimportant. In our own lives, we might sometimes feel like our actions don't matter, but even small actions, like being kind to someone, can have a big impact.
