The Life and Struggles of Man.
I was gonna write something else but then I found this picture. It so poignantly depicts the Good Man's lifelong struggles against a cruel and heartless world and how sometimes, we are completely at the mercy of circumstances and situations beyond our control, like ants in a sink. (I'm the guy behind the tree)
A few minutes later, some dude carrying a rickety gadget resembling a chainsaw on a pole came over and helpfully sliced the WHOLE branch of the tree off, thus freeing our kite line.
As we thanked the dude, I couldn't help but glance at the tree's amputated arm, twisted and splintered on one end. It would lay there unnoticed for weeks till someone cleared it away or months till it rotted into insignificance. Not that it would make a difference. Off the few who did take notice of it's presence during it's final moments on this earth, none would ever know its story.
Maybe we do deserve it.
