Trees do demand some respect. This means trees have dignity. Education is a learning process. Learning leads to increased knowledge. Knowledge is the amount of information gained.
Intelligence is the capacity to gain information.
Wisdom is the use of information in ways that ensure continued high - quality survival. Training and educating Trees are beginning to receive some respect worldwide. Not much, but some, and that is better than the way it was in the past. Now, I believe, it is the responsibility of people who care for trees, and about trees, to keep this movement going. The more you learn about any subject, the better the chances are for regulating the direction of the subject or if that is not possible, then for predicting with high probabilities the way it will go.
