Chaotic.
When everyone is thinking of a prosperous world in which trees could emote, I feel that it would be pathetic. Not only pathetic, it might seem to someone their worst nightmare.
Trees constitute the biotic component of our ecosystem. They are also considered as "Living beings" along with us. What makes them different? Their inability to move from place to place, their inability to speak, their underdeveloped sense organs. They are called "Autotrophs" since they are able to prepare their own food using sunlight, carbon dioxide and water by the process of photosynthesis. They are the primary producers from where we obtain food, since they can convert solar energy into chemical energy.
We should consider ourselves lucky that trees cannot emote. Now why am I saying so? The reason is that you could hear nothing but unending screams and aching cries. Have you ever wondered what would you do if someone cuts your arm? You will lose senses, bleed heavily which might lead to your death. If trees could emote, you would have known the pain when you playfully break a branch from its trunk or pluck a flower. What should the trees have done in that situation? Scream. Lose senses. Die. And those uncountable scream would make life so difficult on Earth that after a certain time, life would not exist. How would the world be if trees could emote- Full of screams.
Have you ever wondered what would have happened if you walked over grass and they really had the capacity to speak? They might cry so loudly which could bleed your ears.
Nature cannot be unveiled so easily. What if I say you trees could emote? In such a frequency such that only other trees could hear that, and not us humans. What if they speak below 10 Hertz or above 10000 Hertz, which is inaudible to human ears? There is nothing certain about the nature. Many a thing are happening around us which we could not see, which we could not hear. We are experimenting and believing on the results. Have you ever wondered what would have happened to us if trees started cutting down humans just like we cut trees? How would the world be if trees could emote- Lifeless.
We must be protective towards trees. We all are aware of the increasing rate of deforestation, and how the forest belts are depleting day by day. We really need to understand how important the trees are for us. They are our primary sources of food and energy. They are the producers of oxygen. They provide shelter to many animals. they are the sources of timber and wood. They constitute the biodiversity. They have a superior niche. They help in maintaining the balance among various diversifying natural resources. We cannot live without the presence of trees. What would the trees really say if they could emote- " Please don't cut us, for without us, you are doomed ".
