WHY RELATIONSHIPS ARE
LIKE TREES
Relationships
are like trees. Now what does this mean?
Have
you ever been to any orchard? I am sure we all have seen at least a few of them
like orange, mango, cashew, coconut, chiku and many more. Did you notice
friends, how these trees are planted? There is always a gap between any two
grown up trees. Every tree needs some space to grow properly. It needs the
right amount of light, soil, water, mineral and loving hands of a farmer. When
all these needs are being taken care of well then only the tree grows the way
the farmer wants it to be.
Similarly,
all relationships too need some space to grow. They also need right amount of
all ingredients including love and affection to take a proper shape, any
relationship is like the four pillars of a temple. They are together, but they
can’t come very close to each other and if they do so, the walls of the temple
would fall off, it would collapse. So friends, all relationships need a proper space
to grow!
A tree is planted today but bears fruits only
after a particular period, when it reaches maturity.
Similarly,
our relationships also bear fruits at a later date. We shouldn't expect
anything right from the beginning.
Big
trees give shelter to all passersby without any expectations. And I have
noticed that true, matured relationships too provide mental, emotional and
physical shelter (support) to all.
Deeper
the roots, stronger the hold of a tree. Similarly deeper the understanding,
stronger the relationship.
When
the winds are blowing harsh, the trees sway in the direction of wind and only
those who do so, survive. Others are uprooted. Similarly, there are occasions
when we just need to overlook a few things, just let them go, just flow with
the wind. Only such relationships pass the test of hard times and survive even
in not so favourable conditions.
Thus
friends! Relationships are like trees, if nurtured with utmost love and care,
will bear sweet fruits of love, compassion, strong emotional bonding and care.
