′′The grass is blue" asserted the donkey to the tiger.
′′No, the grass is green", said the tired tiger.
The heated argument seemed relentless that the two decided to take the issue to the lion, the King of the Jungle.
Before reaching the clearing in the forest, where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey screamed: ′′Your Highness, is it true that the grass is blue?".
The lion replied calmly, “True, the grass is blue".
The excited donkey ran forward and continued, “Alas, this foolish tiger disagrees with me, contradicts me and annoys me, please your highness punish him for his ignorance".
The king then declared; ′′The tiger will be punished with 5 years of silence".
The donkey jumped for joy and went on his way, content and singing, ′′Yes, the grass is blue"
The astounded tiger accepted his punishment, but asked the lion, ′′Your Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is green?"
The lion replied in a calmer tone, ′′Yes, its a fact; the grass is green".
The perplexed tiger asked, ′′So why do you punish me then?"
The annoyed king 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 a foolish question".
The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool 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 no matter how much evidence we present to them, are not in the capacity to understand, and others are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and all they want is to be right even if they are not.
When ignorance screams, intelligence is silent. Your peace and tranquility are worth more..
