Roots of Knowledge

If you give a plant too much water, too much food,  it will grow fast and tall but weak with few roots.

Give it a little water,
allow its roots to
search for its own food and it will grow strong and tall with  many leaves to embrace the sun.

Humanity is much like a plant. Give it all it wants and it will grow weak and needy.

Put humanity through hardship and obstacles and it will embrace life with strong roots of knowledge.
