I don't know I've never been attacked by a tree

A great thing happened this morning, I normally get into work as early as possible to get it over with and have as much of an evening left over as possible. The other guy that normally gets in around 8 o'clock didn't turn up and I was getting paid to stand around outside and listen to Music. This was even better then when your getting payed to go to the toilet during work, its one of those things that always makes me smile and helps me through the work day.

It was a brilliantly sunny morning I was awe struck by the three trees in front of where I worked, the greenness of the leaves just seemed so perfectly coordinated with the blue sky. If you look close enough every leaf is a slightly different shade of green It never ceases to just who pretty our perception of reality is. I'm aware that its probably these colours that have been present since we started evolving have probably shaped our perceptions and tastes, but I can't think of a reason why we would gain an evolutionary advantage in finding it so pretty.

I had been reading some Plato during the week, reading philosophy is probably a very dangerous thing for me to do as I almost without fail will try on the ways of thinking and beliefs. The reason I was so fascinated by the trees is that because all three of them looked so different but we instantly recognise them all as trees. Plato noticed this as postulated that somewhere on a non physical plane there existed an ideal form of a tree and its by similarities to these ideal forms that we recognise things.

This may sound odd/obvious/even stupid now but its a wonderful original bit of noticing and thinking a massive jump from every thing is the way it is because of the will of gods. It sounds even better if you change the on a non physical plane part to a concept in your head part. There is a bush outside my work that has a small trunk and branches quite similar to a tree, I started to wonder what makes one thing a bush and one thing a tree. I know your probably thinking size you idiot, bushes are smaller than trees! I'm aware of this, but I was thinking isn't a bush different to a baby tree, a bush can even be bigger than a bonsai tree. How much do you need to enlarge this bush by in order for it to register as a tree. If you get a bush and start morphing it into a tree is there some point in the middle where it is equally both or neither?

Then another guy from work came and let me in.
