“The branch broke”
The branch broke. The limb snapped leaving a raw ragged stump. Do those who kept adding more to the weight on the branch bear any responsibility? No: it had been explained to the tree, time and time and time again, that the tree should learn distress tolerance. the tree should practice mindfulness. the tree should develop resilience. The tree should have learned to take responsibility for its responses but instead chose to let itself be broken.
