To which character would ourselves fall into, the tree or the boy? The kind-hearted, amorous, offering tree or the self-seeking, materialistic, juvenile boy? Maybe both! Life places us to situations. Situations that most of the time, oppose what has preceded.
I saw these two characters in myself. Emphasized here was the tree who gave everything he could give just to make the boy happy, or should is it right to say that he gave without asking whether it would make the boy a better person. The tree was there from the boy's morning to almost sunset. It just played with the boy, nothing more. I just wished that it tried to be a guide to its playmate. I assume that when the young man had his girlfriend, he had times of anguish, moments of quarrel with his girl. If it had been an adviser and not just a listener, the story would have had a different path. Every stage of the boy's life was important and should have been a point of maturing not just physically for the boy, but in every aspect of their lives.
The story was quite predictable but still very effective. The boy would grow up and leave what he used to love. I don't get it but this happens in reality. From simple things to people who chose to spend their lives with us. Their is something in happiness that makes us forget how important they are. This thing called joy, along with time, might be the culprit. It's worse than any disease man has ever known. It leads us to making the wrong choices. Choices are crucial and it is imperative to be given top priority. How we choose determines how we'll go, how our tale would be. So the boy, definitely, was bothered by tangible stuff that will be rotten by maggots and all these little creatures we hate. Why do we desire these even if it has already been said and maybe, experienced by our own life.
And then at the last moment, when everything was already lost and could never be retrieved, we attain instant maturity. I hate consequences, I really do. But it is inevitable that we make some in our lives. We will regret it, we will forsake it. Ditching won't be a solution. You know what they say, "Your life is not about how you started it or how you struggled, nor how you out stood the rest, but how you ended it."
