Potted Plants & Potted People

This was a potted plant found on the show’s set, and I instinctively snapped a picture of it.

But it is slowly becoming a thinly veiled depiction of the way things are.

So.

Why do plants die?

Plants die because it lacks life giving water.

Plants die because it needs space - contained, it suffocates.

Plants die because artificial sunlight is sometimes, exactly that…artificial.

Plants die because the soil in which it buries itself in no longer support it.

Plants die because it doesn’t see a reason for living.

(okay that was a bit far fetched since we’re not all that sure if plants actually harbour reasons for living, besides instinctive behaviorism)

I guess sometimes, plants find themselves in undesirable spots.

Tough.
