Life is a garden.

There are life sustaining plants and there are invasive weeds. The weeds are not only minimal in nutrients, but can be potentially fatal. They need less to survive and will thrive even in the harshest of environments.

The farmer did not plant the weeds. They made their way into the garden on their own. No matter how long they grow alongside the fruit, they can never become as the fruit. But, if the farmer does not remove them, their roots will choke out those of the life giving plants, and erode the soil of its' richness.

The result would be devastating. There would be no sustenance; only emptiness and death.

It is not hate that drives the farmer to pull the weeds from his garden, but the survival of life itself.

As much as people would like to think otherwise, the same is true of man.

EACH TO HIS OWN KIND.
