The solution to this issue is for the people to plant several oak trees nearby that would keep the view and help the environment. Problem solved. We can't punish people for cutting down trees, but we can ask them to help try to conserve the ecological and environmental balance. We can have it both ways as long as people notice, learn, carry out what is responsible action.
I miss that tree already!
Time is, was and will be. Without time we would not be. What a load it has to carry! Time seems eternal! You might even ask whether cycles in time exist? If so read Roger Penrose's book on new attitudes in physics towards possible "Cycles in Time".
