In a free society there are consequences to tampering with individual relationships. On Solon's Island you can converge on bad individuals to extol them to virtue by shouting and beatings but that won't work here or in the real world.

When you say "there's something there that needs repair" you have made two judgements, one by using the word "needs" and a further with the word "repair". Both are based on criteria selected by you alone which may be completely out to lunch. Why is your observation the only correct, proper, good or moral one?

The good old girl wheeze, "you go girl" is a little transparent, don't you think?

A gore gal posed the question "Should God be Replaced", the answer seems to be "let's impose our world view instead" because we know best and our judgement is "there's something that needs to be repaired".

A person who falls down weeping over a tree has bigger issues than the tree and should be sent to counseling or heavily medicated, because "there's something there that needs repair". Why should one person inflict tree psychosis on a group.
