The Tale by Glycosunde: 7:04am On Jan 29, 2020 |
Longtime ago in the Animal Kingdom, a sheep was passing and saw a lion crying inside a cage trapped and the lion begged the sheep to save him with a promise not to kill and eat it but the sheep refused. After much persuasion and for the sheep's gullibility it opened the cage for the lion. Now the lion was very hungry having stayed in the cage for days without food. It quickly grabbed the sheep to kill and eat but the sheep reminded him of his promise. They were still there arguing when other animals came passing and they sought to know what happened. Both the lion and the sheep narrated their own side of the story but because of fear and in trying to gain favour in the sight of the lion, all the animals took side with the lion except the Tortoise who claim not to understand the whole scenario. Now the Tortoise asked the lion to show them where he was before the sheep rescued him, he pointed at the cage. He asked again, "were you inside or outside when the sheep arrived"? The lion said he was inside. The tortoise again said, "ok, enter let’s see how difficult it could be inside". The lion entered and the tortoise locked him back inside. In amazement, the other animals asked tortoise "why" and he replied "if we allow him to eat the sheep today, he will still go hungry tomorrow and we don't know the next amongst us to be eaten tomorrow. The Moral of this tale Don't support evil today because it doesn't affect you directly We have seen how leaders we thought we could trust and look up to, to direct us always changing the narrative when it suits them forgetting a man that goes to bed with an itching anus will definitely wake up with a smelling hands. A word they say is enough for the wise but are we really wise or have we come to accept this status quo as the way of life . 1 Like |

Nice one OP. Nothing will ever change if the present status quo is allowed to remain intact. We are too different to be so lumped together. |
