The moral of the story is that when an imbecile selfish dick rules the world, expect no trees. Just like today...where are our trees and rain forest?
The trees that are home to some animals and give you food,oxygen, medicine, shade, beauty, tranquility, and keeps you company in your joy, sadness,and solitude.

Sheeple will buy into the facade of the story which is "Unconditional" love. Oooh, how cute...

Really!!?

To take advantage of a lover's nurturing personality to the point of ruining them and stripping them from their self-hood is unconditional love!!?? Transferring them from an awe inspiring mighty tree, to an unwanted stump?

Where is Lorax to stand up for the trees?
And
The second flood to rid Mother Earth of Human fleas?(less)
