A learned lesson from nature…
Disclaimer: This is not a technical article, however as I’m doing marginal adjustments in my life, I’m also starting to appreciate small things.
Over the weekend, I took this picture that really gave me a life lesson:
It is a tree known as Ficus aurea. According to Wikipedia “seed germination usually takes place in the canopy of a host tree with the seedling living as an epiphyte until its roots establish contact with the ground”.
But even when the nature of this tree is by living as an epiphyte in the host tree, this image provides some good life lessons as the tree is living in a tough environment (at least this is what I can see)
For me this is an example of perseverance at the highest level: Although environmental conditions are not the best (hosted on a dead tree), the small tree seems to be very energetic, like if it wouldn’t mind his condition, yet it continues to grow.
But also it tells us that even when the host tree has ended his life cycle it can still do good things for others, provides refugee, and feed that new growing tree.
We as human beings could provide such a level of goodness in many ways such as sharing knowledge with one another or doing something for one another.
