Trees – a part of nature in almost all civilizations – have a cultural value and usually it is the representation of God’s superiority, monotheism, peace, and love. In most human civilization, trees are the origin of humanity and human power. In this essay, trees are a symbol of unification and creating peace and love among people. Trees grow towards the sun in parallel, yet they are far from each other. In other words, not only do they vary from one other, but they also have unity. The space between trees is symbolic of friendship as well as cordial and peaceful dialogue. The color green, more significantly, is the color of liberty and forgiveness. It indicates that there is no obstacle to reach towards perfection. The trees’ shadow is the symbol of a base and social justice. The liveliness, freshness, and fertility of the tree are symbolic of love in perpetuity, so human civilization can have both unity and peace by love
