Thought for Today
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, so they approached the lion.
As they approached the lion on his throne, the donkey started screaming: ′′Your Highness, isn't it true that the grass is blue?"
The lion replied: "If you believe it is true, the grass is blue."
The donkey rushed forward and continued: ′′The tiger disagrees with me, contradicts me and annoys me. Please punish him."
The king then declared: ′′The tiger will be punished with 3 days of silence."
The donkey jumped with joy and went on his way, content and repeating ′′The grass is blue, the grass is blue..."
The tiger asked the lion, "Your Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is green?"
The lion replied, ′′You've known and seen the grass is green."
The tiger asked, ′′So why do you punish 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 degrading for a brave, intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with an ass, and on top of that, you came and bothered me with that question just to validate something you already knew was true!"
The biggest waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn't care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on discussions that make no sense. There are people who, for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand. Others who are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right even if they aren’t.
When IGNORANCE SCREAMS, intelligence moves on.
This thought process is exactly why we are where we are today. For the those that know the truth have stayed silent and have let the asses control the masses
Exactly. Falsities needs to be cut off at the root before they turn into deeply ingrained delusion. Allowing it to build over years and THEN trying to combat it is a recipe for disaster, as we've seen.
Potus never lets false narratives slide. We did that with global warming and look where we are.
TRUMP WON.
The point being that somethings are "global warming" and other things are "blue grass"
I think you missed the point - arguing with the libs do nothing to change the libs minds. Libs usually will only get into those kinds of discussions when they know they have the numbers (an overwhelming number of other libs) to back them up. A better approach is ridicule. Mock them for their beliefs without debating them. Pay them no respect for their thoughts because you cannot talk them out of their false beliefs. If you are not good at those types of engagements - better to not get involved in them. Another way to accomplish this is by being more insane then even they are so as to demonstrate their insanity taken to it's extreme - the shop teacher in Canada is a good example (assuming he's wearing the ginormous fake boobs as a protest). Now the parents, that might not have said anything about a tranny that was trying to actually appear like a normal woman, are up in arms because the school board supports the teacher's "right" to look that way because they would be caught in their hypocrisy if they did not.
Arguing with every fool encountered very quickly turns into the "oh look, a kitty" syndrome that is known these days as ADHD.
Proclaming truth is quite different from arguing with fools, ask DJT.
And seeking unneeded confirmation for what one knows to be true can justifiably be thought of as weakness or at least weakness in conviction that one's ideas are in fact true ideas, which is largely the point of the parable.
