Commenting on feeling like the odd man out in adolescence:

In the morning man shall grow up like grass; in the morning he shall flourish and pass away: in the evening


In the morning, chlorophyll absorbs the sun's energy and grass grows. In our youth, we seem to spring from the ground like grass absorbing energy from the sun as do our peers. In absorbing energy in our growing, we also more feel dissonance, as if reflected from other leaves of grass, which doesn't support our growing as we would like to.
