Too Heavy a Burden

Everyone has moments when they feel like they could fall apart from bearing too much stress. The next time you have one of those days, don’t beat yourself up for being, shall we say, weak wooded. Instead, take comfort in the fact that you’re at least more resilient than this poor Bradford pear tree, which collapsed—or rather, split into four—from the weight of a little snow. Other trees look at this winter misfit and just let out a long, deep sigh.

Maybe there’s more to this than meets the eye. Did lightning strike it? If that’s the case, its complete collapse is perhaps slightly more excusable.
