the scarred tree

thought of sth meaningful and decided to make a story from it.

once, there was a tree. the biggest, wisest, oldest tree in the forest.
one of which he thought he was the best.
but much as life has taught.
noone's perfect. not even god.
god cannot create a rock he cannot lift. (paradox)
and this tree, he just cannot stop providing shade and fruits for the animals of the forest

one day, the forest had a fire. everyone ran and all that passed him ignored his sayings and refused to let him into the happenings.
the poor old tree was left there alone.
soon, the fire spread and the tree was alone standing before it.
it got burnt badly.. on the front side of his tree.
scarred now is this tree forever, burnt and wounded deep.
the animals came back the following days and apologised and tried to make it up to him.
but it was too late, the tree was scarred forever.

everyone including the tree thought it was the end.. the tree has lost its will to provide shelter.. the tree has lost its will to bear fruits.. the tree was lonely and left there by himself..
but it was not the end.. the wise owl flew by several days later and noticed the crying tree.

'say old tree... why are you crying? you are the wisest, oldest and strongest tree in the forest. you can give shade, give fruits and above all, support people.'

'but what use am i if none were to help me in times of need?what use am i if i cant bear fruits nor gives shade? my leaves are burnt, my branches are broken, my bark is scarred. what use am i as a tree?'

'no fear my friend, scarred you may be now, but only the ones that have been through the burns know the taste of fire. only those who's gone throught the pain knows the cure. my friend, the leaves may be gone but grow them back, the branches may be broken and grow them back, your bark may be scarred but be proud. it symbolises your wisdom, your strength and courage. you know the fire's pain and depth. you can help people go through the fire. you can help people prevent the fire. you know the cure to burns. give shade as forms of helping words. bear fruits as forms of burnt antidotes. for you are the tree. a tree is dug deep in the soil, it stands strong and you can bounce back. life is filled with fire and burns. be proud for that you are scarred. you are not broken and torn down. you are just merely taught a lesson. share the lesson. help the needs. spread freely your leaves and branches. stand firm and stonr gyour roots and stem. be proud of your burns and scars. have faith in yourself.'





nothing is impossible to overcome,
someone out there will help and is willing to lend u a hand.
somone out there must have been through what you are/have.
you are never alone in this world. life comes in pairs.
chromosones are in pairs, gender is in pairs, the sky is paired with contrast.
everything is naturally paired.
noone is alone in this world.
someone out there will be the owl to bring you wisdom.
someone out there will be the tree to guide u through & enlighten u with his experiences.
someone out there will also be the animals that runs away & refuse to help.
but everything is just a blessing in disguise.
each path u take, each move u make,
u will rach a different destination.
but how different can it be?
one thing is for sure.
noone is alone to face challenges and obstacles.
i believe everyone in life have many friends.
the true ones stays and help.
the true ones are the tree and owl if you need.
let the animals run and ignore if they want.
appreciate the owl's wisdom.
learn to seek help from the tree.
rejoice for the animals have left.
be proud of your scars.
you may just be the owl if you try.
you may just be the tree in time.
love everyone as u wish they would unto you.
kindness begets kindness.
it does.. it really does..
never fear your scars and shame it.
never regret the paths u make.
for whatever is done is done.
make the best outta it.
that's life's greatest achievement.
