DODGER Points: Join Date: Jul 15, 2007 Status: offline	A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy." "Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull. "They're packed with nutrients." The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree. Moral of story: Bull $hit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there. Dodger.

From a broadenced perspective, this is Chinese slick theory that 'kills' creatiivity , encourage ease/laziness and let you get used to kneeling down for a live like a dog instead of standing for a living like a human.

What I try to say is Dodger's stories are from casual thinking but they are full of life wisdom. This reminds of the Islamic lessons posted by PRIMROSE and the topic initiated by SETH.

If you allow me develop your theme further, i want to say that social order makes a line between superoity and inferiority. If somebody dares to pose danger the established association, cleaning will start, which was listed the other phase of Chinese 5000 yr history.

Hiding your light seems applicable everywhere and in any era.
