think art

the rat race has deprived us of the capacity to enjoy the beauty of nature and the artistry of human life. Why can't we spare a few minutes to stop our racing thoughts of our work schedule and life's competition and admire the beauty of a tree that stands silently beside our house.
The tree is the first and foremost of nature's creation and can never fail to intrigue man.
I cannot understand the rationale of this shopkeeper in Jalan Tebrau in the Johor Baru city centre who took the law into his own hands to trim clean several trees facing his shop that were planted and maintained by the city council. The shopkeeper's reasoning was that the trees were blocking the Feng Shui from his shop.
Although there is the danger of trees being uprooted during thunderstorms and falling on trees or other property even that is not reason enough to do away with trees.
I think everyone should start thinking of all the reasons why they should preserve a tree.
