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, so they approached the lion.
As they approached the lion on his throne, the donkey started screaming: ′′Your Highness, isn't it true that the grass is blue?"
The lion replied: "If you believe it is true, the grass is blue."
The donkey rushed forward and continued: ′′The tiger disagrees with me, contradicts me and annoys me. Please punish him."
The king then declared: ′′The tiger will be punished with 3 days of silence."
The donkey jumped with joy and went on his way, content and repeating ′′The grass is blue, the grass is blue..."
The tiger asked the lion, "Your Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is green?"
The lion replied, ′′You've known and seen 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 degrading for a brave, intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with an ass, and on top of that, you came and bothered me with that question just to validate something you already knew was true!"
The biggest 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. 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 moves on.

Lol. A lot of lessons to take away from this. I love the simplicity and the delivery. Thank you.
Lesson: Dont waste time on pointless arguments when you already have a factual evidence. Thanks for the note, nice one.
So much truth in that.
Great story!!!!! I feel these sentiments exactly. All the time. It's like, meh, why waste your time and energy. When you do so, you become on their level. Not above it.

You realize I quoted the author and gave him credit?
Though, following your link, it turns out that the friend I thought wrote it himself didn’t.
And I’m guessing that it’s just one of those fables, with the source you linked not being the original author either.
Either way, your comment being inappropriate as I never claimed to have written it myself and clarified that I was NOT the author.
You never quoted the author or gave credit to anyone. Editing a fraudulent post is not a time machine.
I edited from “written by Earl Flormata” - the friend on Facebook I found it via (and who thanked me for sharing it there before I deleted Facebook two days ago, though reactivated now to get some receipts, shared below) - to “author unknown,” after it became clear via your link that he was the original author.
If you’re so blockchain-savvy, surely you have a way of going back to view the unedited post - rather than casting false slanderous accusations based on quick assumptions.
The receipts are still there on the blockchain, should you know how to navigate it. Go do your due diligence. Defamation is not a petty matter.

An apology would be in order now, should you choose to restore your integrity...
It was not mentioned that the content is not yours but someone else. It was added after our comment.
Also, even if the source were mentioned, the post would still become nothing else but 100% copypasta with not a single original word added to it.
An apology to the community would be in order now, should you choose to restore your integrity.
It might serve you and your operation well to learn the fundamental basics of how this blockchain works before gaslighting people with faulty claims concretely invalidated by the receipts existing on it. (Or at the least, actually read the receipts - updated above with TIMING and CONTENT - rather than doubling-down.)
But ok, the grass can be blue because you say so. 🙃
Oh, the utter perfection of the irony… 🤣🤯
Hello dear ones.
I would like to express something upon reading this.
What do we make of folk stories and tales that, especially in these times need REMEMBRANCE?
I joined Hive for cocreating the New World.
Soul does not care about copyright. Nothing belongs to us. We do not own anything. There is only one Creator.
Soul just want to share and expand humanity's consciousness.
I believe stories with such wisdom that have been passed on from generations to generations have their place here in this community. And I would gladly upvote someone's post who digs up such lost treasures and honors us with his find.
Thank you, Bless.
