No matter where someone is in life, that person is no better, or worse than anyone else may be, for a seed is just as important and necessary as whatever plant it shall grow into, and must be given the same tender-loving-care as any other organism.
It is quite interesting to me how much a human functions in some regard, similarly to that of a plant, the stomach acting almost as the soil, the spine as the stem, the heart as the fruit, and the brain as the blooming flower. The difference in some form with a creature like the human, is how even much more important the addition of tender-loving-care is to the proper growth of their organism. As this individual is in their phase of childhood, without love, things like food instead of acting as fertilizer, behaves more similarly to that of concrete. Without understanding, learning to this child will feel more like weeds strangling them, instead of branches of knowledge leading them into a divine wisdom. Without care, this child will become unable to blossom their mind to its best potential that only leads to them growing ever better.
It is very important for all of us to understand how much the very simple concept of TLC is such an important factor to the growth of any seed, and paying careful attention, so that we may know when a plant is withering.
