That's neat. But trees don't cut you off in traffic or steal your packages off your porch or murder your aunt or cuss you out or talk too much or tell lies, etc. etc. etc.

They also don't make you soup, buy a birthday card, bring you flowers, hold the door for you, give you a hug, say I love you.

So, people aren't trees.

trees will fall on you and kill you. so just like people, trees will hurt you.

trees will recycle carbon into oxygen, provide cover from the sun and rain, and strengthen the soil. so just like people, trees will help you.
