#again an example of the absolute nihilism of plants that i love so much#this plant is completely unaware that its lived a thousand years#look theres a little plague in front of her!!! humans are so amazed by her age!!!!!!#but is she amazed by her age? no. #she knows only that she seeks nuntrient.#she is above our petty hominid conflicts and admiration#look at her vines coming off!!!! she is seeking more structures upon which to place her glucose manufacturing organs!!!!#she demands another trellis from her underlings!!!!!!!
