She knows the answer already, but that's not the point of verbalizing it. She wouldn't, she already knew, cut through what felt like over a century of trauma and pain, that would take time.. a lot of time, and perhaps more voices than just her own.
But the impulse to help was hardwired into every plant, wasn't it? What they chose to do with that impulse varied, as was who or what they chose to help..
They can guide themselves, they have since they first walked out of the forests and onto the savannahs. You can do more if you want to, but you can't change what you've already done, or in some cases not done. And those you choose to aid will know your aid comes at the price of this pain you keep inside. Does it help them? It doesn't help you.
You're just one. But there are many plants. We are meant to work together, and share the weight of our work. You haven't been sharing very well, from what I can see.
