So this one
is going to be the first post of my blog and I thought a lot about what should
it be about . after thinking for a while and having a tiny fight with my own
mind I came to the conclusion that it should be about the current center of
attraction of my life . Something that I have always been fond of but lately
I've been obsessed with it. Well , without any further ado let me tell you that
this post is going to be about plants. Yes , you are right the green things
around us. All throughout this post you will find me boasting about them as if
they are mine but in real sense they are everybody's best friends.
Since
school or maybe even at home as kids we have been taught how plants are
selfless and how we should thank them. Also, in my culture we have even been worshipping
trees for centuries and decades. ( if you are from the west you are missing out
on that part of value education). So, keeping my values and culture in mind I
have always had immense respect for trees and I've always wanted to learn from
them or maybe even be like them but as the saying goes it is always easier said
than done. In all these years of me idolizing trees I've realized I can never
be like them.
According
to me , I don't think anybody hates plants and even if they do they cannot
ignore them. They are everywhere. In the
jungle, on the pyre, on the Ground , in the sea , around your house if not
inside it on your plate, in your medicines , and even in your imagination of what heaven
looks like and nobody can deny this fact. Even though we know so much about the
importance of plants in our lives and the lives around us. We still are a
little ignorant towards them. They have somewhere just become the green
background of our worlds when in reality they are the green screens which if used
in the right manner can change the way the movie of our lives would look like.
It's their
abundance because of which they have been taken for granted which is sad and concerning
and also the reason why none of us can be like plants. Trust me if any day I
get to know that there is this one species of an organism that is a part of the
ecosystem of which I am the cornerstone of trying to destroy my species that
moment would be the end of the era for
that species. I would do everything in my power to destroy them but look at
plants they don't do such things right ?. Even though they are capable of it. Again
saying this when it comes to plants I am biased so if you are going to give me
the example of all the people who died eating a plant in a jungle I'll call
those people uninformed . Let me explain it to you with an example if you enter a friend's house for the first time
do you touch anything and everything without asking and do you eat everything
around you , No right ? Then why go into a jungle and just eat whatever you see
without asking anyone from that place. Also, if you eat sugar and you know it
is white in color then do you eat every white powder that you see After that. Just because a plant is green and looks like something you've
already eaten before you cannot eat a it and then blame it for the consequences. I
think it's just like being a citizen of a
place where you live. In order to live in that place you need to know
certain information about how the place works along with the do's and don’ts of
that place. The same way as we live on earth we should know that it is
abundantly surrounded by plants and without them nothing here works and when we
are around them we need to know what to do and what not. Or else we already
know what consequences we create when become a majority in any place. In that
context again plants even though in majority are being super kind to us and
again look at us , we are the most
intelligent species out there yet we don't know how to co exist.
See, I've
always loved plants. The green in them makes me forget the blue in me. As of now
I've even started learning about them academically. Since, then I've learnt
more about these green wonders and I love them even more. Living without plants
would not be possible and this sentence right here is reality not just a figure
of speech. I am not going to end this by saying plant more plants or save them.
I would just like to say that try living a day without seeing a plant or a part
of it around you I bet you won't be able to do that. Even after destroying so
many of them still we cannot spend a day without them being around us. Imagine
all of them being gone one day. How many seconds would humankind survive
without them. In reality not even one second. Now tell me do you don't like
plants and if you do would you still not like them ?. Honestly, as I finish
writing this I fallen even more harder for plants . Plants are the best and you
cannot convince me otherwise.
