Once it happened, two friends were stuck in a wonderland. They were called Ragtag and Bobtail. Since they had nothing to do there they got very bored. One day out of the blue Ragtag asked Bobtail,

“what do you think we should do if we get $100,000?”.

Bobtail thought for a moment and replied, “I would buy 2 Buffalos”. Ragtag said, “you cannot buy buffalos.”

“Why?” Bobtail asked.

“Because I am planning to buy a farm, and your buffalos will ruin it”. Ragtag replied with great concern.

“I don’t care if your farm is ruined but it is decided that I am buying buffalos,” Bobtail reacted with anger.

“ If my farm is ruined, I will beat your buffalos,” Ragtag responded furiously.

“You think I will let you beat my buffalos no way” while saying that Bobtail punched him hard. Ragtag picked up a stick lying nearby and hit back with great force.

An old man who lived nearby heard them fighting. He came and inquired about it. Upon hearing the entire matter he said, “You fools! None of you won $100000, or own a farm or buffalos but yet fighting over it.”

Both of them realized their foolishness and apologized to each other but the damage is already done.

The magnitude of the loss suffered is directly proportional to the power of the people involved.

Mankind has been fighting over ideas that dwell in their heads. They have been crushing each other defending their illusionary wonderlands. The truth is, this clash of ignorance takes place at all levels in society.

Can you observe the potential damage done by defending the thoughts and ideas that only reside in our heads?

Whether it is between individuals, family, neighborhood, community, state, or world, the outcome is always disastrous. The magnitude of the loss suffered is directly proportional to the power of the people involved.

Can observe the potential damage done by defending the thoughts and ideas that only reside in our heads?
