In a land adorned with mountains, deserts, rivers, and lush valleys, a people peacefully roamed. Until a monster, fierce and insatiable, descended upon this land. This creature devoured entire rivers, carved into mountains, and threatened the land’s very heart. A courageous man, deeply connected to the beauty of these lands, embarked on a valiant quest. After many days of relentless effort, he succeeded in creating a powerful barrier that encircled and protected the once-beautiful land. The barrier kept the monster at bay, but also kept out those who had lovingly roamed the land. The soil longed for their gentle touches, tweaks, and sprinkles of nourishing dust. This fable prompts us to ponder real-life scenarios it might parallel. It could be a reflection of more than one situation.
