Unlike constrained, trimmed yet pretty exterior looking from outside, bonsai trees...
Trees, and cultures, are best
when they are allowed to grow and develop on their own. They know what to do. It’s in their DNA. They sink deep roots. They develop strong, resilient trunks and branches. Each leaf reaches for the sun independently. Spontaneously, trees and societies grow the tallest, the eldest, and, arguably, the most magnificent living things upon the face of the Earth.
[ and yes, a derecho, tornado, hurricane, forest fire, bugs, etc. can cause damages...but,
nature has a tendency to want to freely restore, and thereby, free trees, recover and grow...
(which reduces carbon and creates oxygen for other lives to grow) ]
And like the generations before us,
we have play a part, via our actions,
in the choices that are available, or not. (for now, and for the future - for others.... )
Article: It uses analogy very well...
