The donkey told the tiger
The donkey told the tiger: The grass is blue.
The tiger replied: No, the grass is green.
The discussion became heated, and the two
decided to submit the issue to arbitration, and to do so they approached the
lion.
Before reaching the clearing in the forest where
the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey started screaming: ′′Your
Highness isn't it true that the grass is blue?"
The lion replied: "True, the grass is blue”.
The donkey rushed forward and continued: ′′The
tiger disagrees with me and contradicts me and annoys me. Please punish him”.
The king then declared: ′′The tiger will be
punished with 5 years of silence”.
The donkey jumped with joy and went on his way,
content and repeating: ′′The grass is blue”...
The tiger accepted his punishment, but he asked
the lion: ′′Your Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is
green?"
The lion replied: ′′In fact, the grass is
green”.
The tiger asked: ′′So why do you punish
me?"
The lion replied:
That has nothing to do with the question of
whether the grass is blue or green. The punishment is because it is not
possible for a brave, intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with
a donkey, and on top of that to come and bother me with that question
The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool
and fanatic who doesn't care about truth or reality, but only the victory of
his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on discussions that make no
sense... There are people who for all the evidence presented to them, do not have
the ability to understand, and others who are blinded by ego, hatred and
resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right even if they
aren’t.
When ignorance screams, intelligence shuts up.
Your peace and tranquility are worth more.
