Trees work in harmony with the planet's other organisms to maintain an energy balance that benefits all life on Earth, including human beings. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and return oxygen to the atmosphere through photosynthesis, a chemical process that uses water, carbon dioxide and energy from sunlight to produce sugars and oxygen as by-products. Trees also release water vapor into the air through transpiration, the evaporation of water from trees into the surrounding air.

The ego performs an essential function: it provides the sense of identity that helps us navigate through the physical world in order to survive and thrive. Without this sense of I, our ability to think, speak, feel and remember would cease to function as we know it today. The problem arises when this sense of identity becomes so powerful that our perception of who we really are as pure consciousness gets buried under its weight. At that point, our inner self or Atman , which should be our true identity, becomes overshadowed by an external experience that we mistakenly identify with as who we are.

Can fear be used for positive change? Some people believe that fear of any kind should be avoided at all costs because it leads to stress and prevents us from being calm, centered beings. However, other people believe that fear can be helpful, such as when we experience danger or physical pain. Our reaction protects us in those situations by creating an adrenaline rush that allows us to run away or fight back against the threat more quickly. Fear can be either conscious or unconscious, and it can be either rational or irrational. The elements of fear are genetic, cultural, environmental, physiological, and psychological.
