Even trees feel pains

 Iron tube and wires pierced the midsection of this bark ignoring the pain of such intrusion into its trunk. Can they feel pain?

I often wonder at how plants cope and adjust to their surroundings. As a human being, I complained a lot on how coarse and steep my path turned out. I grumble so much on how things connived to stop me from getting what I wanted to be done right away, yet I fail to notice how humble these pictures showed me on how they strive hard just to survive the oddities of life.

Trees got hurt too but not as badly as the way human feels the pain. If this is the body of a careless drunkard wandering the streets at wee hours after a bout of drinking with friends, surely no doubt he cannot live long enough to last this kind of torment. I admire this tree because it endured the pain ever since I noticed this hindrance on its growth when it was still a sapling. This has been a normal scene especially in the congested part of the city's depressed areas. I looked stupid when I took this shot but I don't mind maybe because only I took notice on the oddities of life around me.
