Dao in Simplicity

"Why would the seed become a tree? How come that happened, why did it create roots that sought water and nutrition from the earth, and how did it grow into a sapling, then into a trunk and branches? Why would it make leaves, than flowers? Why would the permanent shade of the tree cause weeds around it to die? Why would the bee fertilize the flowers? And why would the flower make fruit? And why is there a seed in the fruit?"

The old man remained silent.

"You all must be thinking that it is because of a greater will that this happened, but it is because of Dao. The Dao of the world, the Dao of life, and the Dao of death. Everything happens for a reason and for a purpose, everything that has a beginning must have an end. And in this cycle, the cycle of seed came the beginning, and once the end which is the fruit that the tree produced came, another beginning starts which is the seed in that very fruit.
