If I Were a Tree

October 14, 2021. Thursday.

If I were a tree, do you think my life would be happy?

No one knows what a tree feels like. The type where you just stand all day, morning to night and every day your life was like that. When it is windy, your leaves and branches will also be blown away. When it rains, you will get wet and you will not be able to do anything because you are just a tree, and also sometimes people sheltered you. When the sun rises, it will also shine on you and you can't hide from the sun.

Does it feel happy when you are a tree or does the tree really have a feeling? Of course it doesn't feel anything because your just a tree. But why do you think other people talk to their plants and trees, do you think trees and plants understand what people are telling them? No one can say if the answer is yes, right?

Why would I want to be a tree just in case? If you have watched the series "Endless Love" you will know the answer hahahha. The real creator of this series is Korea and the Philippine make an Adaptation of it. Jennie/Jenny is the antagonist in the story she always says when she is asked what she wants to be is she always answers is she wants to be tree. This is also what she answers to the question that if she wants to return to the world again after she dies, she always chooses to answer that she want to be tree. If you have watched that series you will understand why she wants to be tree and what I am talking about.

But I chose to be a tree and the reason is to find out what it feels like to be a tree. You just stood in one place all day and all night. Do they get cold when it rains? Do they also feel hot during the day? I really want to know what it feels like to be a Tree.

Isn’t the tree taken care of as well? Cared to grow quickly and take advantage. When you are a tree that bears fruits you are a tree that is important to people. Others turn fruit -bearing trees into business and they sell the fruits and make money so you can be considered profitable. When you are a tree, you are can be use to made a tool to be part of building a house because you are very strong. Almost all trees are useful, not only because we get them to bear fruit and we use them as in making/ building houses or made them into furniture. We also benefit them when it rains, not only because we shelter their lush leaves but also because they absorb water when there are floods. They are also the ones we get oxygen, am I right? From them we take the air we breathe, so I would consider them very important.

Aren't trees giving us so much help? So this is what I thought I wanted to be. It will be a very important thing for everyone, I can give them help and they don't have to ask me if I will give them the help they need because they can just take what they need from me.

But the saddest part of being a tree is that you become old and fragile. Gradually your leaves fall off and your branches bend and your skin peels off. But it's okay for a tree's life to end in old age because he was able to provide benefits while he was still strong. But the other sad thing here is that when you are not old, you will die because the loggers will cut you down. Yes, I know that the reason they cut down trees is to make them papers that are used not only by students but also by all those who need to write in a paper. The other sad thing is that when you are growing up, the owner is already hurting you. I'm referring to the children who like to destroy trees, because I have knowm some acquaintances who are children with this habit, who always destroy the growing trees. Do you have any acquaintances like that? Don't they know how much pain you give to them, they are just growing up but someone's already hurting them nor killing them.

Maybe the trees don't feel anything but we should still take care of them and give them value because we also benefit from them, right?

And that’s why I chose to be a tree because I still want to be a useful one even if I’m just a thing.
