I have mentioned it before but this story may enlighten a few :)
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. | |

...and how do we determine who is the ass without a dialogue and examining evidence/outcomes?
Surely, everybody believes they are arguing with an ass when the other person is refusing to accept the evidence presented.
Your allegory contains no wisdom, it is the recipe for isolation and possible self delusion.
I believe there is such a thing as 'Truth' and we get to the truth through dialogue, an open mind and the pursuit of indisputable evidence (e.g. - Science). | |

True and we all need a reminded
ALL,that is.
However ,for evil to suvcceed it requires only that men do nothing.
Internet is dangerous and lies can defame.
Hate speech is easy to do.
Nobody should take it and hate speech always challenged.

I don’t believe this is a true story because in real life the tiger would just eat the donkey. | | | |

Another good and very true saying is don't argue with idiots as.
"They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."
Even though its sometimes very difficult. | |

Don’t argue with tigers or they will claw your eyes out and puncture your carotid arteries is another proverb I live my life by. | | | |

Some freedoms are temporarily curtailed, not taken away. Personally I prefer the freedom to not be seriously ill. | |

I think people should be free from contacting a virus from those too selfish or deluded to see what the big picture is.

I've seen the original clip on rumble. It did actually happen. It's all the evidence you need.
I was a bit worried for the Donkey when the Lion turned up but the big cats weren't hungry and just wanted to prove their point. | | | |
