Nietzsche has a very significant maxim. He says a tree that longs to reach the heights of heaven must sink its roots to the bottom of the earth. A tree tree that is afraid to do so should abandon its longing to reach the heavens.Really the higher a tree the deeper its roots go.If you want to ascend to the skies you wioll have to decend into the abyss as well.Heights and depths are not different things,, they are two dimensions of the same thing. And the proiportions are always the same..
Mans mind has always wanted to choose between the seeming opposites.He wants to preserve heaven and do away with hell. He wants to have peace and escape tension.He desiresto protect good and destroys eveil.He longs to accept light and deny darkness. He craves to cling to pleasures and to shun pain. His mind always divided existence into two parts and choosen one part against the other. And from choice arises duality , which brings conflict and pain

a tree does not long to reach the heights of heavens, its simply is, it is in a constant state of growth or death and decay, ever changing drawing its strength from that which it came and continues to nutures it.
if u want to reach the heavens take a rocket its much faster than waiting for the tree

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?

But your rocket might explode. Particuarly if NASA's doing the maths.
Its all about risk/gain. If you want to reach something quickly enough, than a rockets a great idea. If you want to meander there slowly and enjoy the scenery, being a tree might work better. If you don't want to risk yourself up in the sky, I suggest lichen. Its soft, too
