Growth

It all starts from a seed. The seed which mother earth nourishes in her womb. After a few days, a thin stem peeks through the top of the seed. It grows on while its roots spread out like a crack on a wall. The race of life begins from there on. The stem aims for height and the roots seek for depth. Its period of infancy is highly dependant on nature and soil, which protects it from potential menace. The stem digs out itself from the soil for the first time and is greeted by the sunlight which it adores. The seed transforms into a tree. With the help of sunlight and air it quickly learns to make its own living. Mother earth, however, is still vital for the base and nourishment. It continues to grow high with the goal of touching the sky beating everyone of its kind, leaving everyone behind. Its not success that it wants to put under its belt but something similar. It’s the need to get the most of sunlight in a world of competition. This is a tree in a tropical rainforest.
Human development is a very similar phenomenon. We compare humans with animals a lot, especially apes but our growth is also aligned with plants. Interesting to note though, the growth of plants is under the safe hands of nature. Our growth or development, although happening very naturally but under severe human influence. Nature is divine, hardly ever makes a mistake. Humans, on the other hand, are the prime example of the word mistake. As Malcolm Forbes had said, “"Making mistakes is human ...repeating 'em is too."
