Each person is a plant that must be maintained and treated as is: something unique. No two floors are the same, nor are two people the same. To prove it, do a simple exercise: draw a plant, which will not be any plant, it will be YOUR plant. If you ask multiple people to draw a plant, you’ll notice that no one draws a design exactly the same way.
Each person is likely to choose a different plant, as there are many types, such as flowers, shrubs, and trees, and if two people choose one of the same type, such as a sunflower or a simple pine, the drawings won’t come out. be the same.
- The position on the paper.
- Size and colors will be different.
- More importantly.
- What will change will be the person’s description of the needs of their plants.
- Many of them will be common.
- Others will not.
- And there will always be nuances.
Not all plants need the same amount of water, light and soil, equally each person is a plant that must be cared for by himself and by others.
“Cherries are cherries and plums are plums!Take a step forward on the path of your unique mission, which is exclusively yours!?
Daisaku Ikeda-
I always thought that people and plants had a lot in common, even if at first glance it doesn’t seem like it. For starters, both are living things that need some care to grow and survive.
We must breathe, be in contact with sunlight, drink water, have good roots and space to grow and develop, that is why I say that every person is a plant to take care of.
“Art is the pleasure of a spirit that enters nature and discovers that it also has a soul. “
Auguste Rodin-
Although I am not an expert in gardening, for some reason I am good at planting, I buy most of the plants for sale, some very small and at very low price, I water them with love, I add new land and I remove the old ones, they exchange them for a larger pot when they seem trapped in their pots and sometimes even talk to them.
However, not all of my plants survive, a cactus has already died under my care, because excess water, like any excess, can be dangerous, even drowned.
The needs of plants are not so different from those of people, they need to find a suitable place where they receive enough light and can breathe, gradually they grow and need more space, and from time to time they need to renew their soil.
And the most important thing, and what reminds me most of a human being, is that vegetables have to get rid of the old and the useless to make room for the new. Leaves that no longer work, yellowish and fall, must be cleaned to make way for new ones.
Buddhism teaches the following principle: “Cherry, plum, peach and apricot”, which clarifies the unique diversity and beauty of all living entities.
To grow, vegetables and humans have to start over, start over. This happened with a special plant for me, a plant that two good friends gave me on their wedding day.
In my old apartment, this floor could not find its place, despite my best efforts, it gradually lost light, so I had to prune it almost completely several times, but now, in my new apartment, I seem to have found its way to grow. Gradually it recovers, evolves and, although it has not yet flourished, I am sure.
The same goes for people. Sometimes you have to renew yourself and start from scratch to find your place and grow, to flourish and bear fruit.
Each person is unique and has their needs. Just as we can’t take care of all plants in the same way, every human needs specific care, we can’t take care of an aloe vera plant the same way we take care of a rose bush, we can’t expect an apple tree to give plums or a pear to give strawberries.
We know that some vegetables bloom, others simply have beautiful leaves and some trees offer us fruits, they are all plants, but each one is unique. Likewise, we must not forget that each person is a plant that must be maintained and respected.
