Understanding the 'root'

We need to learn from

mother nature that plants

need strong roots base 

in order to grow

Likewise bringing up a child

most parents will try to talk

to the child to understand the

problem instead of just caning

In history we learn greed and

power are the main causes of

war and how the 'root' was

addressed to gain peace

In this present world individuals

and countries are faced with

ongoing problems and majority

failed to look at the 'root'

Like most countries faced with

low birth rates why as the 'root'

has not been looked into as it

involves costs and commitment 

The ageing population everyone

is facing and why they are not

being active as the 'root' is most

employers prejudice them

Most of us are afraid to look at

the 'root' and just resolve it by

overshadowing it with solutions

which does not last

Just like a plant it is no point

giving it fertilizers when the

base soil has rocks which does

not enable it to grow further

We need to be realistic and accept

failures and it is by acceptance

that we can move on with life

with minimal hurdles

Let us always remember from

past teachings we need a solid

foundation 'roots' in order to

overcome life obstacles
