Except trees don't have to suffer from generational trauma, self medication/self abuse and dysfunctioal societies/families. Not to mention the crippling inner voices and broken inner compasses passed on through abusive parents and bullies.

This year some of them didn't. Caught a load of spring growth in December, which then got nuked by snow.

That's stupid.

Comparing people's issues and struggles to the process a tree goes through throughout each year is not the motivational quip that those in their worst times could even entertain

And look where it's gotten them. At the mercy of an idiotic dominant species.

Sure but if a tree does nothing but lose leaves for 15 years, it's dead

Translation : if you are in a horrible situation, just put up with it because it might get better.

If you see a bucket loader and a chainsaw coming at you - may be sign of a bigger issue that you can’t stand against

Apparently trees losing their leaves is how they rid themselves of toxins so it's their equivalent of pooping

This is one of those motivational quotes where people are like "huh, yeah they're right!" But when you give it any sort of actual thought you realize how lacking they are in substance... Like saying "if you ever feel like giving up, remember that the earth under your house has been holding it up for decades and hasn't given up!" . Because yeah, no shit. It just sits there doing nothing.
