Infancy…childhood…adulthood…cycle of human
life and the forest?
Unlike human beings as we grow older and
eventually dies, the trees will remain the same unless you took an ax and cut
them down.
It will take them years before they will
bear fruit or 2 years for a trunk that will be as wide as a human fist.
It will take years before they grow but
will only take an hour to cut and remove them. It will take hundred years to
have a forest but it will take only 3 months to clear it to give way for golf
courses, hotels and buildings.
How sad but it is the truth. No trees will
be left for the future if we do not teach our present to take care of their
future. The air we breathe is dependent on the number of trees that can excrete
oxygen and yet we do not see to understand the role they play in our existence.
If you want scientific discussion on trees
just look for botanist, environmentalist and the like. What I have is common
sense of being a HUMANIST. A humanist that believe that we must co-exist with
every and all living things that surrounds us.
Have we not learn anything from the movie
SIMBA? It’s a circle of life. HAKUNA MATATA is not something to sing about when
the Amazon is being torn apart by corporations whose greed is influencing us to disregard life.
