Объяснение для детей

Imagine you have a friend who's in charge of a game, and you don't like how they're leading it. Even though you think they're not doing a good job, you still don't want to hurt them because God chose them for that role. Instead, you take a small item from where they're sitting to show you were close but didn't do anything bad.
