    Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are good is like expecting the bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian.

    AG, A sign is a part of the zodiac which led me to choose letter : alphabet.

    As for the third question, to stoke is to feed something that is material (fuel) and the same relation works for irrigate : water. Now, force is an abstract quantity and cannot be fed directly. HTH...
