To plant a Tree … (02/11/14)
A society grows weak & crumbles when its children are taught first & foremost to “be productive” & to “succeed”; to care for their lives by primarily caring for themselves …
And yet that same culture becomes both Great & Vibrant when its children see their elders plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit; when those children learn that the only way to truly Care for their own lives is to Care for the lives of others.
(inspired by an ancient-yet-still-poignant Greek proverb)
P.S. Consider setting your busy-work aside for awhile and doing something Meaning-full today instead. Consider using less paper … Consider recycling the paper you do use … And consider planting a tree.
