There are many ways to get
to the top but do we want to stay there?
One day a bull and a pheasant were grazing upon the field.
The bull grazing upon the grass and the pheasant pecking ticks off the bull-a partnership.
There was a huge tree at the end of the
field, and the pheasant nostalgically said, “Oh, alas, there was a time when I
could fly to the topmost branch of the tree, now I do not have enough strength
in my wings to even get to the first branch of the tree.”
The bull replied, that is not a problem, eat a little bit of
my dung and within a forth night you will reach the topmost branch of the
tree. The pheasant said what kind of
bullshit is that? The bull said, come on, try and see, the whole humanity is on
it.
Very hesitantly, the pheasant started pecking on the dung,
on the very first day it reached the first branch of the tree. Within the forth
night, it did reach the top most branch of the tree. Sitting on the top most
branches of the tree and and just as it
was beginning to enjoy the scenery; an old farmer was rocking on the rocking
chair and saw a fat old pheasant sitting on top of the tree. He pulled out his
shot gun and shot the bird off the tree.
Moral of the story:
Even bullshit may get you on top of the tree but it never lets you stay there!
One reason why humans
do nasty things to each other, to themselves and to everybody is because
everyone is “dead serious” about their lives.
