Prison of Purpose

In this life, weather we know it or understand it, our mind splits the world into its infinite objects and subjects, each with a purpose.

The grass grows because of some seeds were sewn in the soil, nurtured by minerals and water, trimmed and maintained.

The tree roots into the soil, and is imbibed with the rays of the sun, transformed in the chlorophyll of the leaves.
