Sounds good in theory. If only humans were anywhere near as simple as trees !

That would be wonderful if humans, like trees, followed the simple rules of nature. But humans are self determined. They choose to be nice, they choose to be mean, they choose to subjugate other humans, they choose to kill for no reason. No tree has ever said “I don’t like this house next to me, I think I will drop my biggest branch on its roof!” A human will say “I’m tired of raking leaves every fall, I will cut down that perfectly healthy tree!” The difference between accepting nature and free will.
