The sad truth is people like this are driven in some way. There are always justifications and if you are not perceptive, or as is often the case for the casual observer, or recipient of such behaviour, not really interested, then the justification goes unchallenged.That's awful Shad. I'm so sorry this has happened.
Did they try and spout some spurious justification for what they did? I hope they got lots of splinters.
I was a bit worried for you when you said you removed the shears from them. I wouldn't want to be around an angry Shad holding a sharp pointy object! I'm glad you didn't do anything hasty.......I hope
Are all the gardening tools now hidden away or locked up?
At least it wasn't poisoned. Hopefully it will grow back thick and lush in the spring. (and give the Troll hay fever)
We have at the moment a selection of politicians who will provide reams of justifications for what they do. With some it is apparent with very little thought that self interest, or some other agenda lies behind the more acceptable justifications.
There isn't much one can do about such people if they obtain any position of power. Some people even admire that "I get what I want no matter the cost to others" attitude. It's not for me. I don't like it.
Part of the problem with this person is the expectations they had of life and the reality of what happened to them. If for example, one is led to believe through say family power, elitists education establishments, etc, that one has the capacity to be a success (success is defined in dictionary terms usually as a measure of wealth) or someone of note in the world, and one ends up poor compared to ones peers in financial terms and in reputation; given the above, it is easy to view oneself as a failure.
The problem is often the yard stick one judges oneself by.
I am fortunate perhaps in a way, that I have never wanted much; not in fame, or in wealth and know that I should be the last person to have power over others.
It's a bit like the saying, the last people you want as politicians are those who want to do the job.
I probably won't be about much tomorrow; too busy taking chicken pics to pay the tax on this lot.
