In a 6 months period in 1998, I went through two experiences which showed me that the conformists' lifestyle might be less stressful. The first of these happened in June of 1998 when my garden was demolished because it did not conform to those of the surrounding community. For years, I had been trying to teach a better way of gardening, a way which is kind to man and nature. That is not what the City bureaucracy wanted. They forcibly made my garden conform by turning it into a barren wasteland.
