Recessions are a necessary part of the business cycle. A lot of people would argue that global central banks have gone too far trying to avoid a recession and thus the next recession will be particularly brutal.

Like laws designed to encourage forest growth, when the fire eventually comes it burns far brighter than the fire that burns in a forest left alone.

those laws (actually policies, I think) are meant to keep homes and other property from burning, not to encourage forest growth. wildfire suppression is rarely practiced in true wilderness areas in the US
So it's a pretty good parallel, really :)
