    The Monk and the Tiger

    The greatest tragedy in life is to spend your whole life fishing only to discover that it was not fish you were after. - Henry David Thoreau

    Good tale, but the interpretation could be dangerous, i mean take fir example all the men in here, should we all join toguether and and go ape s~~~ crazy on the world, no demands, no cry for change, just old fashioned payback, death, destruction mayhem, I SAY YESSSSSS.

    that wold be wonderfull, cities in flames, corpses floating down the rivers, whole families burned alive inside their homes, cars torched, crop fields reduced to ashes, empty streets and people afraid to go out, everyone hunting down everyone…

    Dont you think is beautifull?
    Dont you?

    To those following me, be careful, I just farted. Men those beans are killers.

    Which will you be? Whichever you choose, there are benefits and costs to both.

    Perhaps having the capabilities of both is the best way? Not easy, mind.

    Stay in the city and SYSTEM in general and you’ll have to be more the tiger.

    Live away from it all and you can be more the monk.

    Your choice alone.

    A Monk came to a village and saw that a Tiger was tyrannizing the people.

    The Monk decided to teach him about harmlessness and benevolence.

    Time would pass and the Monk met the tiger once more.
    This once beautiful creature was undernourished, hurt and scarred.

    The Monk asked the Tiger what had happened.
    The tiger said that he had taken the teaching of harmlessness to heart and had stopped tyrannizing the village. But because he was no longer feared, the people now threw rocks at him and bullied him, and he was afraid to leave his cave to go search for food.

    The Monk said:
    ‘I did teach about harmlessness and benevolence,
    but where kindness is mistaken for weakness
    you can sharpen your claws and tell them that their days have haste.’

    If this was told today…

    A Man came to a village and saw that a woman was tyrannizing the people.
    The Man decided to teach the woman about harmlessness and benevolence.
    Time would pass and the Man met the Woman once more.

    This once beautiful creature was undernourished, hurt and scarred.

    The man asked the Woman what had happened?

    The Woman said that she had taken the teaching of harmlessness to heart and had stopped tyrannizing the village. But because she was no longer feared, the people now threw rocks at her and bullied her. She was afraid to leave her apartment to go search for food and resources.

    The Man said:

    ‘I did teach about harmlessness and benevolence,
    but where kindness is mistaken for weakness,
    you can sharpen your Skills and tell them that their days have haste.’

    What does this tell you? Well, it means your ass should move. You already done f~~~ed up everyone else. You won’t be able to take it back. SO might as well go f~~~ off someplace else. Besides, chances are SHE got OLD, POOR and POWERLESS and now is getting her just deserts.

    Never feel sorry for them. They did it to themselves. When they had power, they only cared when they lost it.

    You are all alone. If you have been falsely accused of RAPE, DV, PLEASE let all men know about the people who did this. http://register-her.net/web/guest/home

    Everything was going well for the tiger before it took the monk’s advice.

    I'm going my own way. Maybe I'll see you there.
