We are leaves.
Have
you even gone on a walk on a good day and picked up a fresh green leaf. Well I
have done so! Honestly if you just walk outside a pick up a leaf that would
work just the same. Whenever I pick a fresh leaf on the ground, I usually tear
it apart and sprinkle it on the air. Even today when i was sitting on the bench
in my garden one fresh leaf fallen on my thighs , as usual i was about to tear
it apart and sparge it up, but before doing that i was stopped by something not
by my instinct. Then I observed the leaf intimately and my mind started to
wander and divagated.
And
What I observed was,
* Leaf is having two sides, one is glossy with gleam and
other is abrasive
Even we
accept or not, we have to agree this fact. We are not same to our self and to
others. She/he is the real one, when he/she is alone. We are also having two
phase and face one for public and other for private. Of course both the faces
cannot be one.
* Only One side is visible to others, until you concentrate on it.
Until
and unless you go and take leaf and turn it, you will not see the other side.
We are also the same, only few people who care us, will able to see other side
of us. Rest will see only the glossy side what we show, like what we see on
the leaves generally, that may not be real and duller than the publicized one.
Wondering whether we learnt to hide our distress like how leaves do.
* Perforation caused by insects.
Even we
have the dents caused by others, which may be everlasting. Everyone's heart
would have the scratch made by some people or by some incidents.
* will get help only when infected.
We could able to see the chew marks on the
leaves, then it will be taken care by gardener. Health of the leaf is the
health of the tree, We can easily identify the health of the plant by its leaves
which will indirectly tells, it needs some care. Similarly Our face is the index of our health which will
clearly depict if we are hurt
*Leaves not Leaf- Unity of leaves in a tree will give you
shadow to many. Similarly If are united we can help our society which will in turn
help you.
I don’t
want to prolong this abstract, Nature is teaching us many things, It’s our
responsibility to take it out.

| Every leaf will have to fall one day. |
Each
Leaf in a tree are from one tree, like how we are from one fraternity. A Leaf
cannot say it is the best in tree and even should learn not to think as if
we are the best in the human community. There is nothing being so called as
best in being in a same community and at the end Each and every leaf will have to fallen down and get decay
Which will make us to remind we are also going to the same ground and get
decayed one day or another.
Leaves are useful even when they are even buried, which is asking us the question, Are
we useful to other in our lifetime at least. Understand the purpose of our life given to us and serve the mankind.
