UPROOT IT!

What do you do when a tree, or any other plant is planted in the wrong place? Do you lodge a complaint to the soils? Do you cut its branches?
What do you do? Of course someone took the title of this post as their answer, and yes, it is correct! If planted on the wrong site, uproot it!

I write concerning our everyday lives, people always find themselves in awkward situations and places, uncomfortable as it is, they complain about the situation instead of finding the problem and uprooting it. At least you are not a tree, be decent enough to move when you are not well with where you are.

South Africa as a country has the same problem. Many trees have been planted either by the natives of the land or descendants of the men who stopped by and made the land home away from home as they were moving away from conflicts at home or simply sent by authorities to colonize the land to expand territories and or kingdoms, or just to satisfy their greediness. South Africa today is a nation made up of a number of people from different regions of the world and continent it rests upon. So trying to uproot trees will raise conflicts within the country. Afrikaans against native African, English against "Coloured", Indian against Asian. All these groups and others are the founding members  of the so called, "rainbow nation" which is still struggling to gain a place in the conglomerate of nations. However, we need to uproot all unwanted trees but, firstly consult the planter of the tree and hear their reason for keeping it and whether they'd uproot it.
