Hi @profitgenerator interesting analogy however there is plenty of competition still in the plant world, the rainforest is the prime example, there is a constant fight to reach the canopy which means becoming stronger and taller than those around you and dying if you don't.
It’s literally proof in front of you, just go and watch a tree how it behaves, nothing that it does is violent. It just lives there, and doesn’t bother anybody.
Agree, however it's not to start with. It does once its fully grown but has a competition with all the other seeds to have the right to become the central tree and to stand alone.
So it’s wisdom, they are older, they have had more time to adapt to this environment, and we are arrogant because we think that we are intelligent, but our intelligence fails to achieve peace on Earth, and that is sad.
Love this very moving point
