Imagine the only tree at the banks of a river
The mighty wind blows against its branches
The tides run around its roots
The fishermen hang their nets on it
The boat men tie their boats to it
The children hit against its trunk
Wild animals feed on it
Birds make their nests on this tree
Herbalists pluck off its leaflets for medicine
Humans depend on its fruit for food
People rest under its shades
Come rain come shine this tree is expected to bear fruit
Should the wind blow their nets off the tree the fishermen will complain
"This tree is not strong" so they say
When the wind blows strongly and their boats are unhooked
The boatmen complain"this tree is too weak"
Should a child fall from the tree"they cry out in pain and say"this tree is hurting"
If animals do not get any of its fruit to satisfy their hunger they grumble and say " we will not feed on this tree again"
Should their nests be displaced, the birds murmur and sing"let us move to a different tree"
If the medicine of the herbalists doesn't heal he blames it on this same tree
If people do not get any of its fruit, they say "let us cut it down"
The tree that do not produce good fruits must be cut down
If people do not get any shade under the tree they say" let us relocate"
These can be compared to the behavior of some citizens to the government
Indeed uneasy is the head that wears the crown
The fishermen could have build a fence around the tree to hung their nets
The animals could have been content with the food they obtained
The birds could have rebuild their nests at a better place on the tree
The people could have created an irrigation system to support the tree
Knowing that...
