This really puts into perspective how fleeting our existence is

[u/Salute-Major-Echidna → u/[deleted]]

And not really care about any of it . "Big ants" it says to the other trees.

[u/triple7freak1]

Oh that tree has seen some crazy shit in the past

[u/ThisReditter → u/triple7freak1]

And murdered because it has seen things it shouldn’t.

[u/Artbylieve]

I'm 33... that definitely puts things in perspective!

Wild to think some trees have seen more history than we could ever read about

[u/mistad1981]

And to think....humans are the ones who cut it down. Nothing is safe from humans..... Nothing.

I love his coat. It’s over the top for a museum visit tho.

[u/4barT89]

the tree is ok, that jacket though… baaaaaaam!

[u/Hangi_for_btc]

That’s like 3 dog lives… damn

[u/islaisla]

That's a lot of birthdays

[u/HisCricket]

How old is that thing?

[u/cherreh_pepseh]

a very humbling thought...

[u/kevinnye]

I can't find the photo at the moment but I took one at Sequoia/Kings Canyon (or maybe Yosemite) at a tree like this. I pointed to a spot about 2 feet into a tree that was something like a 20 foot diameter because that was roughly the spot where the revolutionary war happened.

Surreal.

Big trees are the best.

my grandgrandmother always told me...don't be a bad person...don't do bad things to other humans....don't lie...don't steal...you might come to earth as a tree and couldn't move for a long long time😶god have mercy on her soul

[u/Regular-Let1426]

As it zoomed out I thought "fuck what have they done" what a beautiful tree

[u/irishsmurf1972]

That is just effing awesome

[u/SerenityAnashin]

As someone who recently turned 33, I love this perspective

[u/JULURILO]

This has me actually crying

33 years is the age of the Lord Jesus Christ when He died on a cross & rose again so that us wretched sinners could be saved. Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
