Three trees

I got the idea for this post because of reading about Oneness in Steve Pavlina's book Personal Development for Smart People, which I described(but not reviewed) in a recent post.

Recently our neighbours decided to buy our orchard, which really belonged to the state, to turn it into a parking lot to expand their advocate bussiness. We immediately decided to lawsuit them because they decided(and did) to cut our trees without permission. They later bought the orchard, but deep down I haven't been calmed down.

My brother commented that they were just a bunch of trees, but I didn't fully agree with that. I believe cutting those trees had much greater importance than it first seemed. According to the principle Oneness, which states that we are all connected with the entire universe, cutting those trees(in metaphor) cut many other trees across the world.

By putting money before the planet's health, our neighbours did a very unconscious thing. I believe that only preserving a couple of trees, we make ourselves as a comparison for how people should behave towards the environment, in this case for all the people who know about this, and in theory, it even unconsciously affected people across the globe.

What a waste.
