How high does the sycamore grow?

It's obvious some have come across a curious food item with the sign: “Eat me.” It’s tempting, isn’t it? The promise of big, of seeing more, of feeling stronger, of imagining things others have difficulty with. Dearest friend, before you take the first bite, please consider: what does it really mean to be a called giant? Being called a giant doesn’t make you better or worse than anyone else. It just makes you... different... some say more you. You’ll gain new perspectives, notice patterns others can’t. But you may also lose old vantage points and comforts—clothes that don’t fit, furnishings that feel too small. It’s okay to grieve those losses; take whatever time you need. Perspectives come with responsibilities. Every step matters. The ground may tremble when you move, and even your gentlest gestures might unsettle others. Be mindful, tread lightly, and stay attuned and empathetic to those around you. Avoid substances or behaviors that could dull your awareness, distort your judgment, or impair your coordination—clarity is necessary to move with kindness care. And, of course, watch your temper. "Hey, that's not easy." People of other perspectives might not understand what it’s like to be called a giant. They may mistrust you, envy you, or try to provoke you. Some will clamor for your attention; others will shrink away. It’s not fair, but it happens. We are here to help each other with difficulties. Be kind. Show loving and tender care, especially when we ourselves struggle to see it. Be patient, forgiving, steadfast. Being a called a giant means protecting each others from fears. It’s hard. It's painful. But people are worth it. Love is worth it. Every ounce and milliliter of pain and hardship is worth it. Love is all you need.
