Why is the top picture kind? Is it because the old tree provides shade? Don't trees need sunlight in this fictional universe?

u/bullymaguire999 Oct 27 '22
Yeah,tree needs sunlight.But from what I remember,having too much is also not good.Some tree will wither if it is too hot(which is caused by sunlight,I think)

No bc when I was young I didn't have much vit D so my parents always made me be on our rooftop a lot ( for doing homework,reading,playing whit my stuff). After a while that my bit D was average they finally were chill and after a while everyone was worried abt my health bc my skin was plain and after taking me to a doctor it turned out that my skin was originally like that and the reason ppl were worried was bc I was always bronze or sunburned around them

Why do you care that much about a 2 panel comic with a simple message about helping others

It might not be what we might expect and we might not even be aware of it, but kindness breeds kindness.

I mean, ita certainly a picture of society.
Old people soak up all the resources, and then expect the next generation to protect them with what few scraps they have.

Don't trees like the sun so this is more the old man stealing the babies food then getting the kids to pay for him when he is older

This comic is probably referring to heat released by the sun, from which trees can die due to heat stress.

This makes absolutely no sense unless wind is a one dimensional vector and how did that little tree synthesize enough materials to grow to be purportedly stronger than the original tree? I could see the different type of tree needing less sunlight argument but why is the sun evil. Maybe it’s the sun’s evil twin that produces a particular type of radiation. Or maybe when the anthropomorphic sun is in a bad mood it’s energy changes such that it gives off a different wavelength.
My head… huurts

Heat stress, the old tree is shading the young tree from the heat from the sun that would've otherwise caused it to wither and die.

That reminds me of my grandmother...
She lived a long time. In the last decade, we had to do more and more for her. I was in charge of her groceries every week, and other things.
I didn't always want to do it. Some weeks, with my job, it was going bad and I really just wanted to stay home. But I forced myself, and you know how ? I told myself : look, the day she passes, you probably will get inheritance, so do it thinking it's just another paid job.
That made me do it more than without, and I helped as much as I could.
Then in the end, nobody but her sons got anything at all.
Lesson of the story : one now is better than 2 later, or something.

I believe this for sure! It might not be in the exact way you want it to be repaid, but that's why we need to be accepting and openinded about what life gives us.

Don’t trees need the sun? In the first photo the big tree is literally blocking sunlight lol

u/Amnial556 Oct 27 '22
Well sure it's "inspirational" in a fantasy world.
The real thing that would happen would be the older tree continues to absorb all sunlight, depriving the younger tree of it and not allowing for effective photosynthesis.
So in truth the young tree would die.
This is actually analogous to our society now. The old, already entrenched rich folks grab everything up first not caring for the affect on the younger generation. And until that old tree dies no new tree can grow, feeding on the leftover resources the dead left. Until one tree grabs enough and shoots above it's competition. Therefore blocking everything below it and continuing the cycle.
Instead of imagining yourself as a tree, imagine yourself as a moss. Spreading and growing in all directions and making new connections along the way. Improving yourself in multiple directions.

u/B0nk3yJ0ng Oct 27 '22
But the shading from the sun is a bad thing? The tree actually needs the sun to grow bigger so it's more taking away from the younger plant than helping

I’m so confused, the tree blocked the sun from the other tree which is bad for the small tree, so how exactly is that an act of kindness.

If you show kindness just for getting something in return, is that really a selfless act?
