My Friends.

I'm pink, and so are my flowery friends. Our relationship is interesting; some days I walk by them and notice them very little, while other days I stop for their beauty and smile. And still other days I take a selfie with them to use for my eco project. We're so different and yet so similar, both just trying to survive, although I doubt the flowers stop to adoringly gaze at me as often as I do to them. But our relationship is more than a superficial attraction based on looks. No, it's much, much more than that. The flowers receive light from the sun and use this light to photosynthesize, and with the help of our old pals H2O and CO2, these flowers derive power, releasing O2 in the process. I then use the O2 this flower released to respirate, releasing CO2 as a byproduct, that the flower then.... yeah, you get the point. Now, of course our relationship isn't quite as intimate as I've described it, but on a holistic level, we are totally dependent on each other. We're nothing more than two organisms, both evolved to fit a specific niche (even though us humans often times way overdo our role). But at the end of the day, we're both living things. So next time you blatantly disrespect the validity of a plant, just sit back and ask yourself why your form of life is any better? Than thank the plants for all they have to offer you, and go on with your day.
