This is photo taken by myself outside my parent's country house outside Moscow (cannot wait to go back there for this Christmas break).
What I like about Pine trees, is that as they grow and mature, they get rude of branches from the bottom, as they only need top to absorb light and rainwater for the themselves without overloading the base and keeping the ability to withstand strong winds (due to smaller weight).
I think as a human, it could be beneficial to copycat this behaviour and ditch all the unneeded pre justices, items or anything you don't need or even restrict your growth. Being minimalist and giving away unused items, or limiting or stopping interaction with some people, or even dropping some unwanted habits.
Christmas trees are also cool, as they build wide support and it narrows as they grow, but I prefer this kind of pine trees, and btw there are probably unlimited types trees on this planet, which ones we haven't destroyed yet, from which we can learn, if we stay curious and look around us.
Point would be that Nature has developed everything before us and will be doing this after us, and best we can do is try to recognise those patterns or ideas and adopt them to our lifestyles, governance and more.
