Roots are important, that's a totally valid complaint.
They're especially important when even the soil is alive, the nutrients are alive, water is alive, and the roots have to run around chasing them.
I could keep listing things but it ends up with MATTER is alive, but no one notices for several reasons. One reason, but not the only reason, is that for I don't even know how many years, but very large numbers of years, whole piles of years, most of us have lived under a "Spirit dominating Matter" paradigm where Science ties up Nature and tortures Her for Her Secrets and we all just look the other way. Nothing to see here, everyone just move along.
That said, AFTER ALL OF THAT, the result is that most people live in a more or less domesticated universe where you can go to a restaurant and what you order is more or less exactly what you'd expect. And no one particularly wants that to stop. But the roots dilemma... the roots... oh, our poor, poor roots... how do we nourish our roots?
Well look man I don't know, but I have this very strong feeling like maybe the fig tree has outgrown its pot and needs a wider universe to grow in and maybe fetlife.com can square you away for a while.
