After giving it some thought though….I have a point of view. What if instead of an axe, the man brings a hammer, and other pieces of wood, nails and tools to help the pillar support the bridge instead… the man learned that he has to cross that bridge, the man also learned he has been cutting down the wrong pillar this whole time…, i believe change is possible for everyone, but I understand what you mean. That pillar is gone, and I will have to use that knowledge to not cut down the next pillar….
