"Imagine planting a single seed and then taking care of it until it grows into a tree. Then you kept on planting more and more. Then one day you realized, you've made a forest.You take a walk inside the forest, your feet are old, evident of the sound of your footstep and the voice of your own bones aching."
"That's not anger at all."
"Then you come across an uninvited guest. Let's say, a forest wood pecker. The sound it made have no meaning to be there. The bird disrupts the peace the place you made have.
"You try to shoo it away but the bird either kept on pecking or if in case they fly away, they kept returning."
"Yeah, I guess, you're right. You'd get angry at that. You made the forest after all."
"You thought and tried of many ways and methods but none were useful at all."
"So what happened?"
"You remembered you had a matchbox sitting in the corner drawer of your room. And a jerrycan half filled with fuel right outside the back of your house."
"So you burned the forest?"
"So you burned the forest that you've planted, taken care of and made into a magnificent place. All of that just to get the woodpecker out."
"All of that just.. get back at the woodpecker? Isn't that a bit too excessive?"
"No anger is ever enough."
