To Plant a Tree … ( 02 / 11 / 2014 )
A society grows weak & crumbles when its children are taught first & foremost to " be productive " & to " succeed "; to care for their lives by primarily caring for themselves … And yet that same culture becomes both Great & Vibrant when its children see their elders plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit ; when those children learn that the only way to truly Care for their own lives is to Care for the lives of others .
( inspired by an ancient-yet-still-poignant Greek proverb )
