I always have some strange ideas.
Look out of the window, you can see the leaves falling from trees.
I wonder, does the tree feel pain? Why the tree throws leaves away? Just for live?
So, how about us? Is it right to struggle for life no matter what happens to us?

Hi. I had once written a poem on the same like how the leaves fall, will those leaves feel pain, what and why this happens, etc. But then i thought that's how it was meant to be, written in fate.

No, the tree doesn't feel pain. Leaf fall is as natural to the tree as going to the toilet is to you. It is the tree's way of getting rid of the 'factories' which have used sunlight to convert water and oxygen into the necessary building blocks for the tree's growth. At the end of the season, waste products and toxins are directed into the leaves and discarded.
