Reading this feels like a great metaphor to life that I am unable to explain but I will still try, in the sense that, within a degraded land with just the right conditions, it is just waiting to grow :D


> Reading this feels like a great metaphor

One of the more famous Urdu poem ends:

  nahīñ hai nā-umīd 'iqbāl' apnī kisht-e-vīrāñ se
  zarā nam ho to ye miTTī bahut zarḳhez hai saaqi

  Do not despair over barren fields.
  The soil is so fertile; a little rain is enough.
(The entire Urdu poem which probably is comparable to Emily Dickinson's "Hope is the thing with feathers" is pretty good).

Life...finds a way.


This is good, I found another one to express what I was feeling.

We are here, We are waiting.

- Optimus prime.

My interpretation is that everyone no matter how bad things look from outside has hope/seeds of hope which are just waiting for the right conditions.
