Embellish of Essence.
Ever wondered why some trees bear fruits, some only leaves, while others bear thorns. Well, well. It takes much toil & patience to bear a fruit. Endurance is needed. Time is required. But, the end result? It is a fruit. A luscious & delicious fruit. The tree works hard to bless soul of a fruit, but not for its benefit. For others to savour. We take advantage of its toil. While it stands naked,deprived of fruits. Beggarly, but strong.Indigent, but satisfied & gratified. Such are the good people & good deeds. People who really are good at heart need to be patient.They need to bear fruits of love & happiness for others. They might get deprived of fruits, but feeling of satisfaction will discover home in them. The trees with leaves. Falling of one leaf might be painful for a tree. But, then it gets used to the falling. It accepts this dwindling as a part of its destiny. Same is the case with some of the humans. One sin torments our soul. Suffocates us. But then. Some commit sins, over & over again. And, in this process lose the ability to distinguish between rightness & falseness. And, ultimately become hollow. And, worthless. The same tree which used to give shadow, feels like hiding from the scorching heat of Sun. The same tree feels a strong need to need of shadow. And, for the tree with thorns. It’s a defender. Safeguards itself, while lacking the ability to face the truth.Heaves pain upon people. Causes bloodshed. Once thorns fail to protect it, it begins to resemble a corpse. Exists. Living seems an impossible dream to achieve then. Such are the people belonging to this group of mess .They shield themselves. They defend their lies. They induce pain in others. But day comes when their own lies engulf them, slowly slowly. They potray themselves as strong humans while all they own is a wretched soul, full of sins & fabrication.
You may be a fruit-bearing tree, a leaf losing tree or a thorn bearing three. Choose for yourself.
