驴子、老虎和狮子的寓言
有一天，驴子和老虎发生了争论。
驴子说：“草是蓝色的。”
老虎回答：“不对，草是绿色的。”
他们各执己见，互不相让，争论越来越激烈。
最后，两人决定将这个问题提交给狮子法官。
他们来到狮子面前，驴子大叫大嚷：“法官大人，草难道不是蓝色的吗？”
狮子回答：“如果你真的这么认为，草就是蓝色的。”
驴子不依不饶：“老虎不同意这一点，还出言不逊，请惩罚他。”
狮子随后宣布：“老虎将受到三天面壁思过的惩罚。”
驴子非常高兴，心满意足地离开了，嘴里不停地念叨着：“草是蓝的，草是蓝的……”
老虎十分气愤：“法官大人，草难道不是绿色的吗？”
狮子回答：“草确实是绿色的。”
老虎困惑不解：“那你为什么要惩罚我呢？”
狮子回答：“惩罚你与草是蓝的还是绿的这个问题无关，而是因为像你这样的高级生物，竟然浪费时间和驴子争论这样简单的问题。最重要的是，你还用这个问题来烦我，只是为了验证你已经知道是真的事情。”
这个寓言就结束了，讲的其实是，应该如何处理争论。
它的观点很简单，就是不要争论。一来，有些人根本无法说服，他们不关心真相或现实，只关心自己的信念和观点获得胜利。
他们会竭尽全力，捍卫自己是正确的，与这样的人争论，就是浪费时间。
二来，一旦开始争论，难免情绪压倒理智。当你胜负心高涨，一心想赢过对方，你的智力就会急剧下降。
我一直对自己、对这个周刊有一个想法，也希望让大家知道：不说教，尽量提供事实，如果要说出观点，必须是那些根据事实显而易见的观点。与他人讨论时，主要是澄清事实，尽量不辩论对错，如果对方无法说服，那就算了，让他赢。
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!”
Moral of the Story: 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 are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right even if they aren’t.
When emotions run high, intellect goes low.
This story is circulating on LinkedIn and has made the social media circuits. As you can judge from the attendant ‘moral of the story’ that this has been interpreted by an absolutist. This is a telltale sign of a Modern versus a so-called Postmodern who will allow for a different translation.
