In bringing an axe to a tree, we should not pretend to prune it.



The sandpiper does not need to be told to stretch his legs out long.  The duck does not need to be instructed in folding up his short legs to make himself even shorter.  Reproaching one or the other will not make them equal; praising one or the other will not bring them closer in kind.  In bringing an axe to a tree, we should not pretend to prune it.  It is not in the nature of the forest to be improved by being cut down.  https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Eisel-Mazard/dp/B09X7QXPRF/
