Food For Thought….
For those supporting evil or good or both
Do you Really really think a Lion can succeed all on its own ? NO It Cant .Lions Depend on Other Lions From 2 Lions Botherhood to Upto 5 or more Female Lions a Gang of lionesess or The Super Pack A Pride of Both Males and Females known to have reached up to 50 Lions Males Females Teens and Cubs … They Eat a Lot of Meat and Most Do not settle for Antelopes but are Known to go for Large Prey Like 1 Tonne Buffalo or even Elephants that weigh up to 6 Tons . one would Think that with such abundant Food Lions Would be Peaceful Animals
NO ! The chief Cause of Lions Deaths is not Disease . Actually it is Other Lions ! Especailly when There is abundant Food ! Lions Fight for Territory For Sex and in most cases just for the Fun of It ! Remember The Lion King ? Or The Story About The Real life Lion Mr T Who killed over 11 Lion Cubs just because he did not want to raise another Lions Child . Fact is More Than Half of Lion Cubs Die at The hands of Other Lions and lets not Forget Other Enemies like The Hyaena and The Leopard and The Elephant .
If Your Tribal Lion made your State A Paradise . Did The meat Reach you ? No it did not ! If you are not a lion you have no Business Voting for Lions !
Short Story
Long-time ago in the Animal Kingdom, a sheep was passing and saw a lion crying inside a cage trapped and the lion begged the sheep to save him with a promise not to kill and eat it but the sheep refused. After much persuasion and for the sheep’s gullibility it opened the cage for the lion.
Now the lion was very hungry having stayed in the cage for days without food. It quickly grabbed the sheep to kill and eat but the sheep reminded him of his promise.
They were still there arguing when other animals came passing and they sought to know what happened. Both the lion and the sheep narrated their own side of the story but because of fear and in trying to gain Favour in the sight of the lion, all the animals took side with the lion except the Tortoise who claim not to understand the whole scenario.
Now the Tortoise asked the lion to show them where he was before the sheep rescued him, he pointed at the cage. He asked again, “were you inside or outside when the sheep arrived”? The lion said he was inside. The tortoise again said, “ok, enter let’s see how difficult it could be inside”. The lion entered and the tortoise locked him back inside.
In amazement, the other animals asked tortoise “why” and he replied “if we allow him to eat the sheep today, he will still go hungry tomorrow and we don’t know the next amongst us to be eaten tomorrow.
The Moral of this tale
*Don’t support evil today because it doesn’t affect you directly, tomorrow it could be your turn….
