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?"
Lion king replied: "True, the grass is blue".
Donkey rushed forward and continued: ′′The tiger disagrees with me and contradicts me and annoys me. Please punish him".
Lion king then declared: ′′The tiger will be punished with 5 years of silence".
Donkey jumped with joy and went on his way, content and repeating: ′′The grass is blue"..
Tiger accepted his punishment, but he asked the lion: ′′Your Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is green?"
Lion king replied: ′′In fact, the grass is green".
Tiger asked: ′′So why do you punish me?"
Lion 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 that question
Moral of the story
Arguing with the fool and fanatic is the worst waste of time who doesn't care about truth or reality. The victory of his beliefs and illusions is the only target. Avoid wasting time on discussions that make no sense.
Some people do not have the ability to understand evidence whereas some are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right.
