An alternative view of life
Retelling stories from different perspectives can make you think differently. This is a simple example, but what would we discover if we did this to our own life.
Tree
I am probably the most famous tree in the world. See how long it takes you to guess who I am. I’m certainly the most disruptive — apparently.
My fruit have no name, though many people argue over what kind of fruit I bear, apples, grapes, pomegranates, citrus. Which fruits could open your eyes and mind to see the world differently. OR was it a fungus growing near my roots, something that made you see the world in a new light, one that stretched your mind into all sorts of other possibilities. They say that is how the minds of humans evolved after all, why the cerebral cortex developed. The part of the brain that makes you humans think you are so special
You see I am blamed for bearing a fruit that gave you all access to the knowledge of good and evil. SO they say. But what is good and evil? Isn’t that a case of perceptual position? Good things and bad things happen to us all. Sometimes the bad things are what makes us grow up and look at ourselves, help us to become better people, or sometimes worse people. I can’t help that — can I? YOU humans have that free will — possibly. I’m just a fruit bearing tree
