“There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state to another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.”
~ Alexandre Dumas
(French Novelist and Playwright, 1802-1870)

I think they both have their own charm. No comparison!

I agree with you, Nandini.
Both lovely trees and there is no comparison – each have their own beauty.
Love the photo and the quote.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
This has stirred my soul. Wonderful to witness “secrets of the world” on two very different planes… One through the power of spoken words by Alexandre Dumas! And the other through the power of silent vision — Nandini, beautiful post.
To know the value of water one should thirst….
