The foolish world of ours...

This world of ours is full of foolish creatures too -

Commoners want to build chateaux;

Each princeling wants his royal retinue;

Each count his squires. And so it goes..Jean de La fontaine is still very accurate, look at our world, look at us, look at you...

“Seven Deadly Sins

Wealth without work
Pleasure without conscience

“It is as truly folly for the poor to ape the rich, as for the frog to swell, in order to equal the ox”

Benjamin Franklin

Humans!!!!!!!! are always the same, they never learn. No need to be a french frog to understand this story. Some people call it Ambition, I say it is stupidity. 

  

 One afternoon a grand and wonderful ox was on his daily stroll, when he was noticed by a small haggardly frog. The frog was too impressed with the great ox, impressed to the point of envy. "Look at this magnificent ox!" he called to all his friends, "He's such a grand size for an animal, but he's no greater than I am if I tried."

        The frog started puffing and swelled from his normal size.

     "Am I as large as the wonderful ox?" he asked his friends.

     "No, no, not near as grand as the ox," they replied.So, the frog puffed himself up more and more, trying to reach the state of the ox.

     "Now? now?" asked the frog.

     "No, no. But please, don't try anymore," pleaded his friends.

        But the frog continue to puff and swell, larger and larger until he finally burst. Aesop Fable

(was an Ancient Greek fabulist or story teller credited with a number of fables now collectively known as Aesop's Fables.)

Have you ever used Flattering? 

My own sex, I hope, will excuse me, if I treat them like rational creatures, instead of flattering their fascinating graces, and viewing them as if they were in a state of perpetual childhood, unable to stand alone.

 Let me tell you a tale from Jean de La Fontaine of course our French fables writer   

Mister Raven, perched on a tree,
Held a cheese in his beak.

smell,
Addressed him in language 
How pretty you are!  How beautiful you seem to me!
In truth, if your song 
is like your plumage,
You are the phoenix of the hosts of this wood.
At these words the raven becomes overjoyed;
And, to show off his beautiful voice,
He opens his beak wide and lets his prey fall.
The fox grabs it and says: My dear man,
Learn that every flatterer 


thrive on fools' credulity.

The lesson's worth a cheese, don't you agree?"The crow, shamefaced and flustered swore,Too late, however: "Nevermore!

Curb your fretting, tadpole, or the frog of your future will fail to croak.'

And Remember...
