For those that want to pounce on me, know now that I am not an expert.
I asked this question once before in a thread many moons ago. This time I will modify it a bit.
There are no correct answers.
We all know that a tree has fallen in the forest, and it made alot of noise.
In relation to your life...
...WHY did the tree fall down?

| I was playing around on DPC instead of paying attention to it... I probably still haven't noticed that it has fallen down. |

A tree fell? Why wasn't I let in on this secret? Noone ever tells me when trees are falling around me. Well, they do tell me, but usually after the tree has hit me.
Must buy a hard hat.

| Whoops, you mean digging trails from the area where the roots are is bad for trees? |

The tree fell because it was rooted in sand. In a grove of Palms, this tree was sown an Oak and was unable to take proper root. It's no fault of the Oak, though, for it was not born to be narrow and thus able to take such drastic winds. This Oak had trouble fitting in, spreading it's branches like a male peacock spreads its feathers among females, the Palms could not see the logic in such a proud pattern of growth. So, winds of change came and swept the Oak downward.

| Because I wasn't strong enough to support it constantly like I thought it though I should, even though I had to take care of myself. |

Trees don't fall in my woods. Oh, they say they can't stand up on thier own all the time but its usually just because they are weighted down by something else and need to talk. The ability to stay standing is rarely ever the real issue...

I'm not sure why the tree fell, I'm rarely aware of why things happen around me.
But I'm betting Chuck Norris has something to do with it. :P

The tree in my world fell down because of the "Greed" of mankind, and his inability to understand that Mother Nature knows best.
Thousands of years of nurturing by the elements were displaced by the misguided attempts by men to re-arrange nature to meet their own selfish needs.
While progress is a good thing... it should not be undertaken at any cost... lest we suffer the consequences.

The tree fell because it was tired. Tired of continually having to be the best and tallest of all the other trees. Tired of always making sure it wasn't overshadowed by another. At the same time, afraid that because it was the largest and tallest that it would be the first one hit in a lightning storm. Or the first one cut by those men with the loud machines.
Pressured.
Scared.
Tired.
and now it sleeps.
sweet, decomposing sleep. |

| In my world, the tree would have fallen because I was just about to press the shutter on a perfectly-composed shot of an Ivory-Billed Woodpecker... in a beam of sunlight... during a Birds challenge... with an entire team of National Geographic photographers facing the wrong way behind me. Yeah, that would bring down a healthy giant redwood on a calm day. Guaranteed. |

What tree? There is a tree? I don't see a tree. Are you sure there is a tree?

| I think you are mistaken. That's not a tree at all, it's a shrub and it didn't fall over it laid down to take a nap. Don't wake it up though. Just leave it alone and it will get up when it's ready, trust me the last thing you want is to have to deal with crabby shrubbery! |

Semiotically speaking, we all know the genesis of this question is the central reality-conundrum of all time: "If a tree falls in the forest and there is nobody to hear it, does it make a noise?"
Now, consider that I am deaf, and ask yourself (in the context of the question) "Does that make Bear a nobody?"
I submit that it does, and conclude there is no forest, no tree, no earth even, since there is no me...

I just figured you'd get one a pop up of those comic book style thought balloons that said "BLAM!" or "ZAMO!!" |

IF A) 13.7 million hits for "nobody is..."
Nobody is
AND IF B) 89 for "bear music is...."
bear music is
THEN Nobody is more popular than Bear!
