The donkey said to the tiger: – “The grass is blue”.
Key Takeaways from this famous fable – Don’t Argue With Donkeys
The fable “Don’t Argue with Donkeys” is a reminder that it is a waste of time and energy to argue with people who are unwilling or unable to understand the truth. In the story, the donkey is stubborn and irrational, insisting that the grass is blue despite clear evidence to the contrary. The tiger, who knows that the grass is green, tries to engage the donkey in a logical argument, but the donkey is unwilling to listen or consider the evidence.
The tiger and donkey eventually bring their argument to the lion, the King of the Jungle, but the lion’s decision to punish the tiger is not based on the argument’s merits. Instead, the lion recognizes that it is pointless to waste time and energy on an argument with the donkey and punishes the tiger for bothering him with the dispute.
This fable, “Don’t Argue with Donkeys,” reminds us that there will always be people who are stubborn, irrational, or blinded by their own beliefs and emotions, and it is not worth our time and energy to try and argue with them. Instead, we should focus on our own peace and well-being and not let others’ ignorance and stubbornness disrupt our lives.
