@primal-buddhist I am happy to hear that you like quotes too. I have been a collector of quotes since I was in primary school. I think much of my Life education comes from quotes.
You read my mind! regarding my response to your parable.
Should the dog have barked... should the donkey have brayed... Should they have kept quiet... Each action or non-action will bring about a different outcome. And that is Life! And we know that in life, sometimes shit happens.
By the way, I love, and collect parables too. I was posting them, but cheetah keeps telling me it found similar content elsewhere, so I dropped them all together. I don't have your eloquence in writing, which is why most of my posts are just quotes.
Thanks for the quote by Dr. Seuss. That's one of my favourite quotes. :-)
