I never could have thought up such a "best use" of the "crush the bird" song's influence. Did the young man, perhaps, "take on" the karmic violence, accept the suffering onto himself, in hopes of alleviating the suffering of the bird as well as the "pathetic human beings"? Is such a sacrifice well advised? Had he consulted with the group, he would have spread the responsibility around, and would <b>not</b> have had to take it all on himself, which would have had the effect of diminishing the power of the sacrifice.
