While I was reading Matts "auction bashing" thread I was posed with this thought.

We westerners, "Americans" for the most part, are like a child sitting in the middle of a room gathering toys in a pile before ourselves. Fighting for more, crying when we lose something and being petulant when we see someone with more than we have.
Having no patience but wanting everything now.

This lead me to the next thought which is my question.

Who or What is more importiant, the tree or the Owner/Cartaker of the tree?

This was like falling off of a cliff for me and I have not been able to stop thinking of diffrent stenarios that would set one over the other. I being Human, place great value on who and what I am. This tree will die without proper care and become valueless. But if it recieves the care that it needs it can live for hundreds of years, which I can not do even with the best of care.

This is my ballance point, in the end we will both die!

My hope is that my trees will servive me.
