A Tree.

We passed by this scene. I noticed this tree standing all by itself in the middle of a wide field. No other trees around it, just the open sky, the fields, and the mountains in the distance. It somehow made me think, maybe being alone doesn't always mean being lonely. Sometimes, standing on your own simply means you are strong enough to grow wherever life planted you. And this tree looks pretty peaceful just doing its own thing. Would you rather be the tree standing alone, or one of many trees in a forest?

Well, I am now alone for almost three months, it's not pleasant believe me.

Honestly I'd pick the forest, but this tree makes a good point about being alone not always meaning lonely. It looks so calm out there doing its own thing. Maybe the real strength is being fine either way.

When we're travelling, we often see a single tree standing on its own.

Your paddy ricefield is similar like ours. A standing alone tree is helpful for others to get shady. But it is alone
