There's a lot to “bonsai”. It's not as easy as just cutting; each bonsai has its own personality, and you have to let those live. A foolish person will try to cut anything and everything off just the same. They just cut and cut and cut the parts that stick out. Yet those parts that stick out are its personality and its true originality. People who can't even figure that out don't have the right to hold a pair of scissors to the bonsai. I feel sorry for the bonsai.
