OK.. My two cents worth here.
I dont agree with you Saba that they are opposites. In fact, the second line follows the first.
It is true that "Thoughts are like plants who grow without seed. like they grow themselves. they even grow on lands which are not fertile", but if it is nurtured for, and well kept, it becomes a beautiful garden, worthy of praise.
If not, it allowed to grow rampant and without any control, with weeds and all, it loses its beauty and can become a ugly garden.. akin to a man's destruction.
Do I make sense 😕 Dont know. but the Irrestitible Men in Blue beckon me to support them as they start their final war against the Proteas.. So, philosophy is out of the door and me too, to go and root for them. will be back, hopefully with a smile, and when philosophy might come back into this chota sa dimaag.
i completely agree with u..u explained it so beautifully that i think that i dont have to say anything else
