THREE TYPES OF PEOPLE IN LIFE

submitted by Zyklonbeekeeper to HDLunited 1 monthJan 27, 2026 17:58:55 ago (+10/-1)     (HDLunited)

First in your life are those with the character of a "leaf". They come into your life for a season, take what they need and put on a beautiful act when the season changes...the moment it gets cold or a heavy wind blows they're gone.

Then there's those who are solid as a "branch". Stronger than the leaf and they may stay around longer but they have to be tested over time for strength, eventually they bend and break under heavy load and are of no more use to the tree.

Lastly, there's the few in your life who are solid as a root...unseen, solid anchor and the strength to support the weight it carries.

The root of the tree stays with it's stump until both have succumbed to the ravages of time.

The forest is large but it has a lot of weak trees.

AND THAT'S THE TRUTH

What is best in life? To lop the trees, see them sawn before you, and hear the lamentations of the birds.

But...as the twig bends so grows the tree

A tree that is felled has spawned 100 trees it's length, appeasement to the feathered beast that look to pluck an eye.

And it's very frustrating when you are a root to a bunch of leaves.

Yes, these words made me smile probably because you hit all good points.
