"当你走进树林看的时候,你会看到很多不同的树,有些树是弯曲的,有些树是直的,有些是常青树,有些是其他类型的树。你看着这些树,接受它们的样子。你明白为什么它会这样长,因为它没有得到足够的光照,所以才会这样长。你并不会因此而情绪化,你只是接受它。你欣赏这棵树。但是一旦你接近人类,你就会失去这一点。你总是不断地说‘你太这个了,或者我太那个了。’这种评判心态就出现了。所以我练习将人们变成树。这意味着欣赏他们原本的样子。"

Simplified Meaning:

When you walk in a forest, you notice that each tree is different. Some are tall and straight, others are short or bent. Each tree has grown in its own way because of things like where it gets sunlight. You don't judge the trees or think one is better than the others; you simply accept and appreciate them for how they are. However, when it comes to people, we often become critical, thinking someone is too shy, too loud, or comparing ourselves to others. The idea here is to treat people like those trees in the forest – accept them for who they are without judgment. For example, if a friend isn't very talkative, instead of thinking they are too quiet, understand that they might be introverted and appreciate them just the way they are. This approach can make our interactions more compassionate and reduce unnecessary stress.
