 THE SILENT FROG 23-6-2001 
 
Rate it 

There were four frogs holding on to a piece of wood which was floating on the river. The first frog said, "Look, we are making the wood move along with us." Immediately, the second frog said, "No, you are wrong. We are moving because the wood is moving". No sooner had the second frog spoken, than the third one quipped, ''Both of your are wrong, we are all moving

because the water is flowing.'' Now during all this, the fourth frog was silently enjoying floating in the water. All three frogs started pulling his leg and asking him " Come on, tell us who is correct. We are moving or the wood is moving or the water is moving?" Whatever you say will be the majority and it will be the correct answer!" Yet, the frog never spoke, He was silently observing the whole show, enjoying floating on the water.

So what was the correct answer? All and none. What is the point in making a big issue for nothing? Man always likes discussions and arguments. They are all futile. Just learn to sit quietly and appreciate whatever is going on in the present moment.

wisdom: learn to enjoy every moment in life rather than waste time in dicussions and arguments.


Silence is the sign of wisdom of a person.
