Are trees metaphors for life

Answer 1

Any object can be used a s a methapor for anything. Example; Trees for Life, flowers for love, rain for prosperity, etc, etc, etc. But if you're stuck in these metaphors, the next time you see a tree, a flower, rain, etc and remember the metaphor/s, then you are no longer seeing the object as it is.. Another example of looking but not seeing; If you see an Oak tree in the middle of a meadow, and think how many tables, chairs, floorings can be made from that lone tree, or name the scientific name, then you ceases to see the tree.. learn a lesson from the poem "Tree" by Joyce Kilmer.
