      Yeah; I have a big orange tree at home, it provides freshness and shade during sunny days, and not forgetting to mention my mango tree that provides juicy, fresh fruit for hot days.

    It teaches to approach things from a subjective view. Getting multiple perspectives in order to get various solutions.
