DP78 - When Life Gives You Osage Oranges.

  Plants, who needs em?    —All of us. I mean they’re really doin’ shit. They eat the sun’s rays and blossom. They convert our exhales back into inhales, automatically, for free, year round. And what do we give them in return? A calendar full of barbaric holiday traditions where we mutilate them or steal their dignity. Halloween, we carve a face into a pumpkin, Christmas, we saw down a tree and take it away from it’s family, and hang little bullshit all over it, then discard it into the street the day after we open presents. Valentines day we show our primate love to one another by plucking beautiful flowers from their nutrient source and letting them slowly dry up and die.    I get it, you think they don’t have feelings. But have you ever eaten psilocybin mushrooms and felt the reality of their awareness? The largest living being on the planet is a fungal network. Wait shit, that isn’t even a plant, but we still believe in how cool plants are!   I know, you think you’re morally superior to us because you’re vegan, vegetarian, etc.  But just because your food doesnt scream and bleed doesn’t mean you’re not a monster. You’re probably inside a structure made from cut up tree bodies as you read this. Those sunflower seeds you bought from the gas station were a flower’s children.    Anyway, plants, what do ya do with em? A lot of shit. But when life gives you osage oranges, you play skee ball.
