A Seed

If there is a seed, there is a seed.
If there is water, there is water
If there is sunlight and carbon dioxide, well then we have four concepts at hand.

By use of (in this case) the English language, we have given meaning to these letter combinations by deciding, with social norms, what can be considered proper characteristics for each of these words. We have sieved out, by popular majority, what will not exclusively comprise each of these four ideas. And we have thus constructed a relative idea about how many objects we are discussing. It is in the complexities of simply forming these four components of life that make clear how many deviations are to follow in what might be “growth.”

Human life—it is a mystery. Even in our discussion of it lies varying interpretations about the words within the competing meanings.

And we try to find meaning. We listen, we ignore, we speak, write, draw, we move. We try to understand, we mostly error. But in the rare occasion of understanding, we find the struggle’s worth.
