I remember, as a kid, when I first understood that only half of every tree is visible, that the roots in the soil are equal to the branches in the sky, that a whole other half is underground. It took me a lot longer, well into adulthood, to realize people are like that too. Elan Mastai
About This Quote

An issue that is very important to me. We often take things for granted and fail to understand the true value of them, and it would be a shame not to appreciate and enjoy ourselves and our own lives. Take trees for example, they are always there for us to use, but few people actually understand the value of trees. People are like this too, even though they are always there for us, no one notices how good they are until they are taken away from us by death or injury.
