The Tree and The Axe.

 

Here is a little story to make you think.

The Trees and the Axe:

A man came into a wood and asked the Trees to provide him a handle for his axe. The Trees consented to his request and gave him a young ash-tree. No sooner had the man fitted a new handle to his axe, than he began to use it to quickly chop down all the other trees in the wood. An old oak, lamenting when too late the destruction of his companions, said to a neighbouring cedar,

"The first step has lost us all. If we had not given up the rights of the ash in order to protect ourselves, we would have had a future to enjoy”

So remember there may be unforeseen consequences when you sacrifice the rights of others.
