I always looked at it as though I was tending a garden. Each little plant takes a lot of soil, time, and care (nurturing). If I try to spread all those ingredients out amongst all my little plants, they take so very long, (longer than I may have to live) to bloom and bloosom from a seedling. I know I need to pick one or two in particular to nurture, so that I may actually harvest fruit from it while I'm still alive, but.... that is oh, so hard to do. When so much attention is put on that one plant, it's growth pushes the others out of the soil. It's hard to see those little seedlings wither and die, when deep down we know that we could of made something great from them.</p> I know this feeling a hundred fold.
