The donkey said to the tiger: The grass is blue.
The tiger replied: No, the grass is green.
Discussions became acrimonious and the lion was approached for arbitration.
Before reaching the clearing in the forest where the lion sat, the donkey said, “Isn’t the grass blue, Your Highness?” began to shout.
The lion answered: “True, the grass is blue.”
The donkey rushed forward and continued: – The tiger does not agree with me, contradicts me and annoys me. Punish him.”
Then the king announced: “The tiger will be punished with silence for 5 years.”
The donkey jumped for joy, repeated, “The grass is blue,” and went on his way contentedly.
The tiger accepted his punishment, but the lion asked: “Your majesty, why did you punish me, when the grass is green?”
The lion replied: “Indeed it is grass.”
Tiger: “Then why are you punishing me?” asked
The lion answered:
It has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. It is punishment because it is impossible for a brave and intelligent creature like you to waste time fighting with a donkey and then come up and bother me with that question.
It is the worst time to argue with fools and fanatics who ignore truth and reality and only care about the victory of their beliefs and illusions. Never waste your time in pointless discussions… There are people who are incapable of understanding for all the evidence presented to them and others are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, which is all they have. They want to be right, even if they are not.
When ignorance cries out, reason shuts up. Your peace and tranquility are more valuable.
The donkey said to the tiger:
- “Grass is blue”.
Tiger replied:
- “No, the grass is greener.”
The discussion got heated and the two decided to take it to arbitration and went before the lion king of the jungle for it.
Before reaching the forest clearing where the lion sat on his throne, the donkey began to shout:
- “Your Highness, is it true that the grass is blue?”.
The lion answered:
-“True, the grass is blue.”
The donkey hurried on:
- “Tiger does not agree with me, I disagree and annoy me, please punish me.”
Then the king declared:
- “Tiger will be sentenced to 5 years of silence.”
The donkey jumped happily, satisfied and repeated. - “Grass is blue”…
The tiger accepted his punishment, but not before asking the lion:
- “Your Highness, why did you punish me? After all, the grass is greener.”
The lion answered:
-“The grass is actually greener.”
Tiger asked:
“Then why are you punishing me?”
The lion answered:
- It has nothing to do with whether the grass is green or blue.
A brave and intelligent creature like you can’t waste time fighting with a donkey and bother me with that question.”
It is the worst time to argue with fools and fanatics who ignore truth and reality and only care about the victory of their beliefs and illusions. Never waste time in pointless arguments…
There are people who are unable to understand no matter how much proof or evidence is presented, others are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment and want to be right even though
