What’s the one luxury you can’t live without?
If you ever find yourself in a time of great stress and upsetting circumstances, the natural world wants to calm and sooth you, if you get outside and start to observe things yourself, you will see.
In parks, large trunked trees swing and sway in the wind. They will carry your pain, confusion, anger and fear if you’ll let them. They do so silently, with grace and nobility, because that’s what they are really made for, they wordlessly carry our sorrow and happiness and have known many people before you were born. Kept their brains and bodies and stories safe – so be humble before trees.
They are strongly rooted and can take the full weight of your sorrow. Alleviate it by dancing around in the wind and enveloping you in dappled sunlight. Their leaves shimmer and in the autumn, fall like a song ending. In the spring, they put forth new potent buds full of juicy promise. In summer, they produce flourishes of lurid pink, red and orange flashing their blooming life.
They are home to other-than-human watchful eyes of beings with fur and feathers, who follow your sauntering walk, even if you’re totally unaware of them.
The trees, the animals, even friendly dogs you meet on walks outside can ease your sorrow if you let them.

That’s a really good answer. Without trees, there would not be much life, really.
