For people that relate to analogies. People = Trees

People are a lot like trees

I hope I plant a seed in someones heart...and it grows.

Trees sometimes show many scars just like us, especially the ones we use for their sap, like maple, just don't take too much or you suck the life out of them. Not all scars are signs of battle, but signs they were able to share with others. 

It seems as though it is the more impressive trees we like to show off and give most of the attention at home. This earth is long lived and species diverse with each tree having a climate that is unique to their own, which keeps them safe. Removing some trees from their natural climate would kill them, as is the case with some people. 

People manipulate landscapes for our trees which will surround us to increase the species therefore adding diversity to our lives and to make habitat more favorable. Trees also create an environment that is aesthetically pleasing and safe to the people who use the spaces that they create.

Like people... there are trees with deep healthy roots that are strongest to grow despite the season changes and  harsh climate strikes. The larger trees are shelter to others with less strength because their deep roots interlink with others therefore allowing all things to flourish. Even when the larger trees are unearthed or destroyed in some way, the smaller trees have a way of reaching out to form a new growth from the life left behind. At times the larger trees smother the other trees from their reaching out for light, but then nature balances things out by removing them.

Life revolves around trees, and everything on earth benefits from them, no matter where.  Even if a tree or persons roots are unearthed, think of how we all have evolved and survived  according to our environments. So don't be discouraged for searching through your roots if you need to dig up past dirt or even transplant to more suitable environment.

The reasons for Forest loss, are no different than family loss around the world.

DO WE NEED TO CHANGE OUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS LIFE? .

-Poverty and overpopulation are believed to be the main causes of forest loss.(family loss)

-Unrestrained development and the excessive consumption habits responsible for most forest loss.
(healthy families and  communities)

-It is the throw away culture, now advertised in and forced upon others that is leading to the throwing  away of the world. Do we throw away people in the  same ways when they get in the middle of what we planned out or wanted for ourselves ?

-Wealthy countries have been consuming so much of their own resources that they are no longer   sustaining their growing populations and increasingly, they are turning to the resources of the financially poorer countries. So... it is just like this with people that are exploiting or turning to others who are more vulnerable because there home life has gotten too unsustainable. Yes some people leave others in the dirt because they don't like the debt burden.

Water your trees people, give the sprouts some light,

and be apart of their growth. Don't abandon your seeds. 

There should be penlites for abandonment and neglect...I new a guy who felt his seed (a baby and the seed of loving her) was quote "a gift" and he persuaded the woman to legally sign for his exemption
of any personal or financial responsibility when she wouldn't accept an abortion.
.Absolutely no contact of the baby in the womb until the damaged root was 8 when the mom contacted him. And he thought the kid might resent him later after watching a movie?

Last I heard he was thinking of keeping the family line going and talking out loud about
whether it was better to go with someone younger or older.
Sadly, the father gives short token visits a few hours a day every other week publicly,
no real quality time or connections.
He is like a kid who will always need a mother fugue to guide him himself.
My sons father was most times never there, even for the few important times in life when all the other days they were crushed could have turned everything around for them.  I get so angry at single parents who try to keep the other parent away as well as the parent who stays away. THIS IS SELFISH, and very damaging to the little seeds who grow learning from our models
... they do understand and see the truth eventually.

Neglecting the seeds we planted is cheating them out of life, and so many other labels fit the parents and lovers who don't try to look after the things planted simply because
for some pf these people the reasons were purely self serving. 

(I am not referring to the many other perfectly solid,
unselfish reasons to allow another person to care for the seeds we implant).

Shouldn't it be mandatory to take responsibility rather than neglect or people have penalties when they create something, even a mess?

-Any alteration or disturbance of a tree's vital functions
can more or less be considered as a disease. 
Is cheating, neglect, abuse a disease?
