Fable: DON'T ARGUE WITH DONKEYS

The donkey said to the tiger:

- "The grass is blue".

The tiger replied:

- "No, the grass is green."

The discussion heated up, and the two decided to submit him to arbitration, and for this they went before the lion, the King of the Jungle.

Already before reaching the forest clearing, where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey began to shout:

- "His Highness, is it true that the grass is blue?".

The lion replied:

- "True, the grass is blue."

The donkey hurried and continued:

- "The tiger disagrees with me and contradicts and annoys me, please punish him."

The king then declared:

- "The tiger will be punished with 5 years of silence."

The donkey jumped cheerfully and went on his way, content and repeating:

- "The Grass Is Blue"...

The tiger accepted his punishment, but before he asked the lion:

- "Your Majesty, why have you punished me?, after all, the grass is green."

The lion replied:

- "In fact, the grass is green."

The tiger asked:
- "So why are you punishing me?".

The lion replied:

- "That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green.

The punishment is because it is not possible for a brave and intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with a donkey, and on top of that come and bother me with that question."

The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who does not care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on arguments that don't make sense...

There are people who, no matter how much evidence and evidence we present to them, are not in the capacity to understand, and others are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and all they want is to be right even if they are not.

When ignorance screams, intelligence is silent. Your peace and quiet are worth more. 🤎

The effectiveness of a good leader can be measured by these three characteristics.

The quality of your ideas is important. Even more important: being able to communicate those ideas effectively.

In memory of the Great Plebian G*t. Andres Bonifacio (Nov. 30, 1863- May 10, 1897). I'm reposting this post about the man many consider to be the first President of the Republic.

Who killed Andres Bonifacio? He was a patriot founder and leader of the Katipunan (K*K) society, who instigated the revolution of August 1896 against the Spanish. Born to poor parents and had little formal education, he was, however well read. Unlike our national hero Jose Rizal who wanted mere reform in the Spanish oppressive rule, Bonifacio advocated complete independence from Spain. By 1896, his Katipunan had an estimated 10,000 members who were mostly peasants and workers, while the middle and upper classes supported reform rather than revolution. In August of 1896, Bonifacio led the insurrection in Luzon, but his forces were defeated by the Spanish troops. Emilio Aguinaldo, one of his lieutenants carried on the resistance but the Spanish systematically routed the insurgents as well. Because of this setback, Bonifacio was allegedly an ineffective military leader, hence, in March of 1897, at the infamous Tejeros Convention Aguinaldo was named president rather than Bonifacio relegating the supremo as secretary of the interior but Mr. Tirona objected to his election and reasoned that Bonifacio is not qualified because he’s not a lawyer. Embarrassed, and deeply insulted.

The Supremo stood up, and said, We agreed to abide by the majority and accept its choice no matter what the stature of the person in life if elected. And because of this, I demand you, Mr. Tirona an apology and restore order and honor the one they elected that you have now besmirched.”

Then he pulled out his revolver and aimed. Mr. Tirona, because of fear slid and disappear among the crowds. Chaos ensued and the in charge of the convention Mr. Jacinto Lumbreras tried to disarm Bonifacio who was determined to shoot Tirona, the people began to disperse and the Supremo, began to cool down, adjourned the meeting with these words. (Sealing his faith).

“In my capacity as chairman of this convention and as president supremo of the most venerable Katipunan hereby declare null and void all matters approved in the meeting.”

Aggrieved by this personal humiliation and not accorded his basic right to be heard, and coupled with the fact that Aguinaldo was also unsuccessful in his battle against the Spanish troops, Bonifacio tried to establish his rebel government but was unsuccessful. In April 1897, Aguinaldo had Bonifacio arrested and tried for treason, he was eventually executed by a firing squad. The brothers of Andres, Ciriaco, and Procopio were killed in the mountain of Maragondon. His wife, Gregoria de Jesus was allegedly r***d by Bonzon, a henchman of Aguinaldo. On March 22, 1948, Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo released a letter saying he was indeed the one who ordered the ex*****on of Bonifacio and his brother Procopio.
Another statement from Aguinaldo’s general, Lazaro Macapagal, an ancestor of Diosdado and Gloria, who led the ex*****on of Bonifacio’s brothers, confirms Aguinaldo’s admission. Unlike other heroes of the country, Bonifacio is remembered on his birthday, rather than the date of his death. Bonifacio is considered the father of the revolution after he spearheaded the establishment of the secret society called K*K to fight Spanish colonialism in 1892, twenty-four years after his death, the Philippine legislature enacted R.A. 2946, making November 30 a national holiday to commemorate the birth of Andres Bonifacio, for starting the Philippine revolution against Spain. He was also called, “The Father of the Filipino nation.” National hero, a great plebeian, and a self-taught orphan.

Remember that the past cannot remain buried forever. The next haunting question is… Who was the real Hero?
