Truly a giver

At any given time and at any place in this world someone is killing somebody to survive, whether they like it or not but they are killing. From a Blue Whale to us humans, we live when we kill. Either we slaughter the whole being or scrape the part of the creature because yes, life must go on.  In school we all learnt about the food chain and how the ecosystem works, as we grow the memories start fading, nearly forgetting the base of the food chain. The greens, the plants and trees which form the base are the only creatures in this world that doesn’t kill another living being to grow and survive. Yes, there are some exceptions here as well but do we even count the droplets of water in an ocean!

Just like any other afternoon, after filling my belly with food and enjoying the sun shining very harsh from my window in an air conditioned room this thought flew to me. Maybe this came from a Jamun tree who was soaking in the sun, blocking dust and filtering air which we were very busy polluting. Here, people say that this tree should be chopped off as it isn’t bearing any fruit but can’t we simply consider silent magic. It is creating that too without any demands, moreover it is providing shade to so many people and pets who take a quick nap under its shelter in a sunny noon. I felt like this Jamun tree was waving at me and I leaned a bit towards it and a conversation started. The only worry it had was that Earth is suffering because mother Earth loves us humans the most but the day isn’t very far when humans will lose their space. Many such close knit secrets were exchanged and I feel like it’s my duty to share some of those with you.

Biggest of it, which isn’t even a secret but a forgotten truth that we live on what they create and to create that they don’t kill another living being is hard hitting truth which each one of us must acknowledge.  Let’s look at this closely, grass grows and grasshoppers feed on it which is consumed by slightly bigger beings like frogs, frogs are consumed by snakes and other reptiles which are food to Owls and other carnivores. Okay, so where do herbivores go? Well, they feed on plants which are living beings. So, even they are killing something. But, the plants and trees they soak in sunlight absorb water and create food for all of us and all this while they also make soil fertile, purify air, give shelter and list goes on.

Truly the givers, only givers we have on the planet Earth. They find their own light and water, but they love it when you look at them, admire them and pass on some secrets. They talk and they respond, you just have to be a bit closer. Next to you see a tree on a street, look at it and say hello.

Lastly, they will keep giving us for they are the most generous creatures but if you see a tree being raised your voice or at least pray in silence tell that tree that you understand what is being done to it. Simply acknowledge it. Never forget, we live because they die every day in some way.

 The co existence 

A glass of water or bucket of water, lend them if they are thirsty for they will give us back in abundance. The only true givers and we must learn from them and say thank you.

More green is coming your way. Keep reading and spreading greens. in comments below do let know if you have every shared a story or secret with trees and your experience with them. If you liked this blog do share it with your near dear ones.
