Photosynthesis

It's been a long time since the last time I visited this god forsaken website, about 8-9 months I suppose, and I would have returned earlier but I didn't because my potato pc lags a lot, this requires a lot of processing power which does make sense since this whole operation has a lot of different features presenting a wide range of opportunities in the right hands - not mine obviously.

All I need to work through this beast is ram, more ram, more power. We need power to perform all the activities and perform them more efficiently depending on the amount of power.

Similarly works a plant, a plant needs sunlight to process, create and support.

A plant if given all the necessary ingredients under the right circumstances, grows, as it grows it goes through different stages depending on the type of its plant, some have flowers, some bloom, some don't and I was going to rhyme this with gloom but if I had done that it would have meant I feel plants that don't have flowers seem gloomy and I don't feel that way.

Plants are beautiful, they support entire ecosystems for being able to transform energy of the sun - sunlight - into an edible, consumable form.

Visualise the food web or food chain if its convenient - I will show you how I look at it.

we start with the sun -----Sunlight----> reaches the plants----create food for self, grow big, buds, blooming flowers and fruits--->insects build nests on it, around it, feed on it like grazing animals do if the insects have left something-----insects and the peaceful grazing animals encounter their adversaries--->predators, animals bigger than them feed on them, derive nutrition----bigger , hungrier predators emerge-->bigger predators feed on them---bigger predators die of natural causes (any cause other than wherein they were killed on purpose for nutritional needs)--->carcasses turn to dust providing nutrients to the soil----->nutrition reaches the plants through the soil.

As we went on further with my description you may have noticed what I described is a cycle of replenishment, plant being the source of life it gets what it needs, and the only stakeholder I didn't in the list was us

Humans are seen as more advanced due to our improved cognital abilities, motor abilities, numbers etc but we are also seen as the imbalance, if the ecosystem is nature we displace everything with our presence, we are the parasites, top of the food chain, an omnipotent single entity set out to disrupt everything fearful of only hearsay worthy supreme beings.

We feed on whoever rests atop the food chain, much like how the top reached where they are instead of anyone else, without going political and a tad bit sociopath-y let's shift our focus to Amarbel

Commonly found parasitic plant existence of whom is usually frowned upon, why? because Amarbel derives ready nutrition from other plants we call autotrophs because they can prepare their own food from sunlight, water and a few other ingredients

Amarbel is cut down, in order to protect other plants, we interfere in the natural cycle even when we don't participate but in this case the direct participation causes this plants future to end along with its life, all because it was not an autotroph

We do a lot of things, some we do because we want to, some we need to and some we do simply because we can.

Let's compare both autotrophs and parisitic plants

Autotrophs have - chlorophyll to convert solar energy and other materials into energy for themself, parasitic plants steal their nutrition directly from autotrophs because they do not have any chlorophyll to take part in this life giving process of photosynthesis

Parasites like Amarbel do what they do because it is what they can do,what they need to do in order to thrive like their independent counterparts.

Amarbel is forced to live life a certain way, it isn't given the right tools, the bare minimum needed for surviving independently, it is not privileged it is in fact the oppressed.

Just because you have adjusted to a certain standard of living which is the equivalent of the bare minimum doesn't mean it is all you deserve and not more.

It wouldn't have needed to be a parasite if it had chlorophyll,

so, today I'm grateful for photosynthesis, a rare and desired skill, available to only a select few.
