    I like this take, not sure if I’d agree, but I like it.

    If your cat start torturing eachother, as an extreme example, you’d intervene, I might suppose? Maybe? idk, maybe there’s a better example

      That’s why I mixed the metaphors kinda awkwardly… We’re not a pet, we’re a plant, but generally humans don’t see any amusement in watching a plant do something potentially stupid and unnecessary

      What you do when your plant is dying for basically no reason? Maybe you prune it, maybe you change your caretaking, maybe you just leave it to see if it can pull through before you turn it into fertilizer for the next plant

      We love the plant, but we also want it to bear fruit. We’re all just one plant in the garden, maybe we get pruned and watered, but the love is really for the garden, not exactly any given plant

      We act like humanity is the only plant, but that’s insane. A creator creates. A gardener gardens. A farmer farms. They want us to succeed, but it’s crazy to think we would be an only child
