He has been living in the forest for a long time, and he has been through a lot. John isolated himself in the forest not for any particular reason, but simply because he enjoyed the beauty of nature within it. It sounds logical for a professional logger, except that there might be a terrifying fact that he is hiding.I always think about this. The deeper I think about it, the more I want to ask about my thoughts. So, is it true that everything in this world has two sides?
