What on earth are you talking about?


If you don't plan ahead 50 years by planting the appropriate trees,
then felling them yourself (by chewing through the trunk like a beaver
so that you truly understand the tree of course) then sawing it into
boards (with a saw you made yourself, while the tree was growing) then
scrapped that idea in favor of another plan you thought of while
pulling the splinters out of your mouth, planted new trees, waiting
another 50 years, sawed, and built the exact same thing someone else
made 200 years earlier (from when you started) entirely with hand
tools, working only on days when the electricity was out (pausing
periodically to walk round to the neighbors to show them how much
you're getting done while they are sitting around doing nothing) then
your work has no soul and really you're just wasting everyone's time.

Got it now? Good, go plant some trees and we'll see you in 50 years.
