.. Not even the trees are saved.
... The human vanity, as we know, has no limits. And there is no doubt about this.
To confirm this, today I saw that only make a mess of the unworthy human being can stain (as usual).
start from the beginning.
few days before Christmas I woke up with the deafening roar of a helicopter. This helicopter was carrying, on the square in front of my house, a huge fir tree.
The tree was harnessed and given suspended from the helicopter, so I could see the clearly sawn trunk at the base. I then realized that this was not a transplant, but of a tree to use as decoration.
This meastoso, wonderful, grand fir has given me an infinite sadness. I imagined him, ripped from the forest in which, with great patience and determination grew up, where he had spent a lifetime much older than all the people there had to be torn. I saw him, as he walked away from his fellow trees, while for the last time the needles absorbed the fresh air and uncontaminated.

This gave me an infinite sadness on him, as he was dropped in the mall. And
here it is, a few days later, decked out in lights, amid the smog and noise, being scarce and fleeting glances from passersby. Here it is, an old pine and majestic live, here it is dying slowly and inexorably to human vanity.
And today, past the holidays, I looked like any afternoon at my poor friend and silent. But what I saw the tree is sad and sentenced to death. What I have seen four men armed with hatchets that tore apart my family tree.
And I heard screaming in pain.
