There’s a nice video doing the rounds on social media. It’s called the Root vs Fruit system.
The essence is a comparison of the two systems that work inside of a tree.
One is called Gravitropic, where the roots of the tree grow towards gravity. It’s dark and damp, and it takes plenty of effort to grow into the ground.
But it is 100% required. Because without the roots, the trunk and branches and leaves and fruits wouldn’t even exist.
Speaking of fruits, the other part is called Phototropic, which is the part of the tree that grows towards sunlight. And eventually leads to the blossoming of flowers and their fruits.
Life is like that, isn’t it? One needs to hunker down and do the hard work in the darkness and dampness. And only then would one really be able to shine in the light.
