| もく | き | 木 |
Meaning: Tree
This is another kanji that is the same as the radical. Both tree and tree are the same in looks and meaning.
So, how are those radicals doing? Do you know them well?
Reading: もく
You’re walking through the trees, looking at them. They look ominous. Then, your foot gets stuck in the muck (もく) and you try to pull your leg out, but can’t. Then the trees next to you beginning to mock you. Even the mocking birds mock you. It’s terrible. It’s painful. You’re being mocked while you’re stuck in the muck.
Feel the shame, feel the irritation. Make yourself want to break free just so you can go attack those dumb trees making fun of you and mocking you.
