inescapable sadness

Have you ever seen a sight so sad, so irredeemably pathetic and heartbreaking, as this?

A seedling I expected to somehow grow into a full-fledged, life-sustaining tomato plant that would provide for endless soups and sauces that I carelessly planted in a pot too small, barely 8 inches at its widest point; and still, she grows.

And I do not deserve the fruit she bears.
