"Can't see the forest through the trees" a philosophy many people interpret as a pun yet the joke IMO is the miss interpretation itself. By interpreting a pun of the statement, you become the punch line … let us see if I can break down this thought for you …
Obviously, the statement is truthful as in when you are surrounded by the forest amongst the trees you cannot see the entirety of the forest. If we relate the forest to anyone of life's given situations, we see this also rings true. When depressed it is hard to see positive and when ecstatic you would be hard pressed to see the negative. You may know you are in a forest and that the trees obscure your view but until you venture from the forest itself you cannot know it. Only once we can reflect upon it can we know it.
We may be able to view the forest before we enter it and analyze it after we exit but never can we truly experience that forest again. The fruit of that journey is much like growing cannabis, particularly regarding the learning experience. We can take every precaution to venture the best path producing a beautiful plant yet there is still a bit of surprise. How could there be surprise if tactfully choosing your path? Well that's life!
The surprise with cannabis when looking back at the forest after the journey is the specifics of the fruit. Over time we develop methods of traversing the forest to a specific destination. Only once you have left the forest and your girls are curing does the gravity of the path taken set in. The subtle differences in quality of your bud being the specifics of the fruit and method to grow being the forest. We find that unless the journey through the forest resulted in acceptable fruit the path is not likely to be chosen again. At the same time, we must remember that while on the journey we have no concept of what options in paths lead towards. We know we can speculate and often do but as the saying goes…
