An Axe in the Forest

[Arduti]

An axe went into the forest and the trees said to the handle, "You are one of us!"

Why did the trees say this?

Yes, but what are the trees feeling?
Brotherhood?
Fear?
Something else?

'Cuz the trees were axed out of the equation! lol

I don't want to have a freudian slip don'tcha know!

On a more serious note, the handle was more or less made out of a similar composition of the trees. So we can deduce that the tree was insulating a sense of betrayal; the axe/handle being a finalized product of trees that were cut down. Hence, the cycle of betrayal repeats and propagates the cycle through a new tree being turned into an axe.

So the handle betrayed the trees by letting itself get chopped down and turned into an axe?
Does the forest not take responsibility for the welfare of their own?

Do axes walk in this fantastical world? Do they chop trees on their own? Seems to me these trees are retarded and are just scapegoating the poor handle when they should be scorning the handler.

Ahhh, someone mentioned the invader in the forest. I was wondering if someone would.

But yes, are the trees retarded to complain when they didn't protect their trees from getting chopped?
Would the trees care about the axe handle at all, even if it was wielded, if it wasn't also fused with another material the invader mined from the earth: iron?

We can suppose the forest is one of many; plethora of organisms dictated by a singular, coalesced purpose; self preservation or in other words the survival instinct. This survival instinct can only act on a rudimentary level against perceived threatening stimuli. The shovel is merely an instrument/conduit of a highly, conscious organism (i.e. humans); that triggers such responses.
