this is about the story of the broccoli tree. a photographer in sweden photographed this tree every day, noting the life around it, the seasons, etc. it went viral on instagram and became a popular tourist attraction—the world rejoiced in the unique comfort of the broccoli tree.
one day, the broccoli tree was cut down: "you absolutely cannot un-saw a tree." as hank green reflects, maybe if the tree was never photographed and shared, it wouldn& #39;t be gone, "but if we hoard and hide what we love, we can still lose it. only then, we are alone in the loss."
this story reminded me of stray kids: they are not trees that can be cut, but they are people that we can lose. in a time of such toxicity, i ask that you spread kindness. rejoice in the comfort and happiness they offer. we are on this platform to celebrate—not to spread hate.
