Toughest of all - PLANTS


Plants are the toughest living beings I feel. I may be wrong, there may be several other animals too who struggle to survive but, here I am talking in terms of facing life. If we see the plants, they stand still for several generations. They can't sleep or lie down like us. They cannot move. They just stay there and provide food for all, since they are the only ones who have the gifted power of photosynthesis. They do that every day. They feed all since they live at the very base of the food chain and hence becomes responsible for feeding every human being and other animals too. They face all the seasons, summer, winter, rainy and still they stay tough. On one side, they stay full day long bearing the scorching heat of the sun and at night bearing the cold. Also, during the rainy season, they get wet completely. But, they cannot wipe the water over their leaves or branches as we do after the bath, by wiping it with a towel. They cannot say that I can't bear this much heat and I need to move from here. They cannot say that it's enough and I cannot bear more shower on me. In that sense, they are very strong and helpless. But, who knows they might be loving this or all these seasons may not be affecting them at all as it does to us.
Whatever it see, they still become one of the toughest creatures on this planet. We can't find them crying, they may be, but unfortunately, we can't locate their eyes. They are the best source of inspiration for all humanity. They provide us wind, shade, and whatnot. They help to successfully block the soil from erosion. They offer the best greenery this world could ever imagine. They offer the most crucial ingredient of our survival, which we need every second, and it's none other than Oxygen. By offering oxygen, they offer us life. And in return, humans are taking their life by cutting it and removing the green cover of the earth. This is affecting mother nature in a tremendous fashion of which the most crucial one is global warming. According to numerous surveys, the reduction in the green cover of the earth is the most crucial parameter in increasing the global warming effects. Humans have to understand soon, that they cannot exist on this planet without trees. They cannot live in polluted cities for long. They have to coexist with nature. They have to coexist with all the other animals of nature. The soon they understand this, the better their chances of survival on this planet.
