People And Plants Have A Lot In Common

Sometimes I wonder if we as humans ever know what we are doing.  We are often praised for being the species that can think and communicate with each other.  Yet, so many other animal species are also highly intelligent like dolphins and monkeys.  How amazing are humans really? 

I believe plants are smarter than humans.  Yet, humans usually live longer.  Plants are dependent on the environment and sometimes people to survive.  Plants live with the aim of efficiency.  Yet, sometimes the elements or outside forces destroy them.

Humans are a lot like plants.  Plants seek out their needs like water and sunlight much like people seek out their needs in life.  Plant species exhibit intelligence in how they move to receive the optimum amount of sunlight.  People move with respect to the actions they take in life to receive the optimum amount of benefit.  How plants grow is a reflection of personality, the choices they made in aims of the optimum growing conditions, and their environment. This concept is the same with people where people become how they are based on their personality, their lifestyle choices made to satisfy their needs, and their environment.  

Plants respond to sound stimuli.  Plants will grow better given one music and worse given another kind of music.  Children will develop better in a kind quiet home than in a loud discordant one.  Plants grow better when they are talked to and interacted with.  Touch is important to the development of children.  They always have those shows where parents are encouraged to interact with babies while they are still in the womb by talking to them, letting the baby listen to music, et cetera.  Interaction is necessary to development regardless of the species.

I have always wanted to be a plant because I respect them.  Yet, given this analysis, I already am very much like a plant by being a human and vice versa.  Isn't that cool?!
