Imagine you're walking to work one morning
Imagine you're walking to work one morning. Your route passes a pond, and as you get close to it, you see a small child struggling to stay above the water. The water isn't deep. You can easily wade in and rescue the child, at no real risk to your safety. What do you do? You help, right? Of course you help! It's a child! It would be wrong not to help. That answer that instinctive of course-means other people have a place in your forest. It's not just you.
