If you were a seed...


...buried deep in the dark earth...

Will you wait patiently for weeks, months or even years, slowly bidding your time for the perfect conditions, and when the time comes, burst forth from the ground into radiant sunlight, soaking up the life-giving water, blooming into the most beautiful flower, bearing plentiful offspring, and age slowly, peacefully and gracefully, and eventually return to the earth?

Or will you fight your way to the surface, stand defiantly against the harsh storms and burning sun, stubbornly sprouting stems deformed by the wind, proudly growing leaves malnourished by the barren soil, struggling futilely and dying violently, just for that small chance to survive and bear stronger, tougher offspring?

Which will I choose? If you know me, you already know the answer.
