(499) Hacking stones

In Brisingr by Christopher Paolini, we find a stone forest in Mount Thardur. (page 418) The ancestor that found the stone forest had his masons chisel out nearly fifty trees. "It has also become a tradition to send troublesome offspring here to chisel out a tree or two while under the supervision of a master mason."

We could benefit from this today with our youth who are angry. Unspent anger often find outlets that either harm others or the person himself. But not many have the opportunity to chop trees or chisel stones. Most of us who get angry could speed on the highway or bang our computer desk.

We still have games. But only those with good co-ordination  play games on a regular basis. Modern civilization does have its limitations!
