I have read your entire article and it was quite thoughtful. I love to read your words.

One thing came to my mind when I saw this last photo of your article that as plants grow,they need certain things like need to be watered time to time, to take care of them for better growth, just as our today's generation is at the stage where they need our positive behaviour to grow perfectly. They need our appreciation. Just as plants wither when they are not care for, same today's generation go astray if they are not guided well.
Then it is very difficult to bring them back to their original stage.
So,
Better growth is very important for moving forward in life.

(May be you find my answer lil different but you ask for thoughtful day so i can share my thought to see this picture of your article). :)
