    Plants can’t even feel things and I still don’t want to harm them for no reason. I think the act of being cruel is bad for you, like anti-therapy.

      Actually it has been proven that plants can actually feel a lot of things that happen to them

        Sense ≠ feel

        To feel, as we humans understand it, requires a nervous system.

        Plants can sense things in their environment and react to stimuli, but the “senses” a plant could have wouldn’t necessarily compare to any sensations that humans experience.
