Have you ever thought, about why do people adore their homes/rooms/workplaces with scenery?
I’ll try answering this question.
Our abode is the centre of numerous activities that give shelter to our family. Each of the family members is engaged in different occupations. Members as an individual as well as a family face several challenges in their routine life. But they can’t escape to serene places in the vicinity of nature every time they feel burdened to calm their mind. The reason is, they have responsibilities. Responsibilities of kids, parents, jobs, home etc. Running away from it isn’t the solution as it’ll only pile up their work.
Keeping scenery in the room/office induces a sense of peace from the helter-skelter life. One can look at it and can imagine in one’s mind that s/he is sitting at that place. This is also a way to practice meditation. Imagining ourself at the scenic place calms our minds momentarily because we feel relieved from the responsibilities whenever we see it. Haven’t we seen people saying that they want to go on a trip because they want some change from usual life, to calm their mind or to search a sense of self. It can only be possible when we’re away and alone. Scenery helps us to escape us to the place which is in it, and for a moment we lose ourselves renouncing the world we’re currently in.
Well, a very simple answer suggested by my professor is it makes the walls look adorable and beautify the home. That’s why we keep sceneries!
