When people discovered the iron, the trees began to worry about the fate of their future.
...
"Why is there an ax in this world for massacring the tree? Who created this destroyer devil tool?"
...
"If a tree does not provide the ax handle, how could a piece of iron hurt you so severely?"
...
The origin of misfortune can often be traced to oneself. In fact, our greatest enemy often is even ourselves.
...
"Though one may conquer a thousand times a thousand men in battle, yet he indeed is the noblest victor who conquers himself."
(Dhammapada - 103)
