Being envious of a tree

[mlha]

Do you sometimes look at a tree and envy its simpler life? But then again, it can suffer too: experiencing a drought, being struck by a lightning bolt, being felled by humans, etc. So better to not have been at all.

I love trees. But then, humans don't tend to be very nice to them and you can't exactly run away.

What tree would you be and where? I love water so, a weeping willow would be nice. Somewhere remote though. Don't want children climbing over me or dogs peeing up my trunk. I suppose all animals scent mark though...

I'd like to be a sour cherry, but as you say being remote would be better. Somewhere in a primeval forest would be nice.

I would love to be a tall and large tree and useful one.

Something like Hyperion or something smaller?

It is good, but they are static so that sucks

Trees are neat, they're all magical and stuff. I like how cozy they look inside when a bird flies into one and chills in the cover of all the leaves. Tree houses are cool.

A tree can't suffer unending constant unbearable pain.

I or another animal can suffer unending constant unbearable pain because we have a brain that is a torture chamber
