a: concentration ~
b: feeding a spoiled cat

What:

"Right concentration is like feeding a spoiled cat... an ultimate fussy eater who swore legions to no one!

a: Light energy ~
b: many soldiers not in unison

What: Light energy is like many soldiers not in unison walking down a road but some in the trees, some in the grass, some on the sidewalk and does not have the force or impact of all the troops being focused in one place at one time.A laser is like an army marching down the road all in perfect formation, all in line, all in unison. If those million troops were traveling at the speed of light and hit a target they would hit the target and act on the target depending on the absorption frequency of the target and when acting would liberate energy. This energy must be removed from the surrounding good tissues immediately; with in nano seconds or they will continue to destroy all tissue good and bad.
