So, is a picture really worth a thousand words?
If you see a photo of a blossoming tree, what comes to your mind? What does it tell you about the environment of the tree? Does it tell you how it was nurtured from the time it was a seedling until it is a fully-grown sturdy tree? Does it tell you how most of the time nature took its own course and the tree actually managed to grow naturally without any interference from humans? How the right amount of sunlight, rain, and human care helped it grow? Does it also tell you that it took a long time for the tree to grow and eventually serve its purpose in bearing fruits or seeds or provide shade during hot days or the perfect place to climb and play? Does it tell you that at the right time it will just grow?
If you see young children, what comes to your mind? What does it tell you about their environment and where they're growing up? Does it tell you how they were nurtured from the time they were babies until they've started to walk and talk? Does it tell you how most of the time nature took its own course and the children actually managed to crawl, sit, hold its head up, stand, walk, run without any interference from humans? How the right amount of love, care, proper nutrition, sleep and play helped them grow? Does it also tell you that it took a long time for the children to grow and eventually serve its purpose here on earth as an adult? Does it tell you that at the right time they will just grow and be like one of us?
So, what do you really see when you see a tree or a child?
