«DON’T ARGUE WITH DONKEYS» 🙈

«The donkey said to the tiger:
«The grass is blue.»

The tiger replied:
«No, the grass is green.»

The discussion heated up, and the two decided to go to the lion, the king of the jungle.

Already before reaching the forest, where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey began to shout:
«His Highness, is it true that the grass is blue?»

The lion replied:
«True, the grass is blue.»

The donkey hurried and continued:
«The tiger disagrees with me and contradicts and annoys me, please punish him.»

The king then declared:
«The tiger will be punished with 5 years of silence.»

The donkey jumped cheerfully and went on his way, content and repeating:
«The grass is blue!»

The tiger accepted his punishment, but he asked the lion:
«Your Majesty, why have you punished me? After all, the grass is green.»

The lion replied:
«In fact, the grass is green.»

The tiger asked:
«So why are you punishing 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 not possible for a brave and intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with a donkey, and on top of that come and bother me with that question.»

The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who does not care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on arguments that don’t make sense… There are people who, no matter how much evidence and 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 quietness are worth more.»

  13. So true. They drag you down to their level and you end up getting irate over nothing. Respond with silence I find works well and the occasional ‘yeah’ or ‘wow’ works to massage the ego of the village idiot. If I can, I avoid getting in to any sort of conversation or debate or discussion about anything when one person is so blinded by their own ignorance to other points of view that they don’t even bother to listen or even understand what they are being told.

  15. Very funny but also very true.

    Never argue with an idiot. To do so you have to go down to their level and they will beat you with experience every time.

    I say I only can put up with so much stupidity in a day and you have maxed out your limit and then walk away

  16. Never farer to the real Truth. Europe is voting today, I hope people vote more tiger than donkeys, at least, but we all would like that no donkeys would be selected within the EU Parliament 🙏🏼🇪🇺

  23. What a wonderful post and I can only agree, I’ve just learned that lesson, that my peace is more of value than anyone’s understanding. Some people just don’t want to hear my side of the story, they are not interested in the truth, and it’s not my job to change that. They are free to be however they want to be, And I am free of the need to be understood, because I understand myself and my peace has priority to me. Thank you for putting it in those clear words.

  27. Spot on! This perfectly captures the frustration of dealing with someone who isn’t open to reason. The tiger’s punishment is hilarious, but the real lesson is gold: Don’t waste your energy on arguments that go nowhere. Some people just want to be «right,» even if reality is staring them in the face.

    Protecting your peace is key. Walk away from those pointless discussions and focus on things that matter.
