Time is really a complex thing. Some take it as a boon, others take it as a curse. Time itself has no relevance, it's the circumstances which gives the time power.
For example- No one every cared for time when they were happy, but they always cared for it when they were sad.

Anyways it's good to know about this tree. It reall looks very old and has seen many generations growing and falling. A big thumbs up for you @slowwalker.
