JUST INFORMATION OR WISDOM ITS YOUR CHOICE

 

You all must be knowing the story of the tortoise and the 2 cranes, let me connect it to today’s scenario.

Once there lived a tortoise in a lake in a dense jungle. He had 2 friends who were cranes.

The tortoise was a well-informed guy and he liked to disperse the information with his friends.

One day there was a drought in the forest. All the animals started to move to the nearby forest where there was a river and a lake. The tortoise thought that before he reaches the lake of the other forest he would die of thirst as he was slow.

He told his problem to his friends. The two cranes got a stick and told him to hold the center of the stick with his mouth while they will hold the two ends of the stick with their beaks.

When they were up in the air the tortoise saw a street and wanted to tell his friends which way the street goes. As soon as he opened his mouth he fell down and died.

Now a days we have lot of information through social media and try to share it as fast as we can without knowing if its right or wrong.

So how is it wrong?

I will tell it to you with an example.

‘In this covid pandemic we know that we have to wear mask and go down, when we go down, we have to maintain social distancing and not go down without any reason. But many people don’t follow that even after knowing that they have to take all the safety measures. This must be one of the reason for the second wave of covid in India.’

Of course, information is important but knowledge and wisdom is vital.

So we should not behave like the tortoise because we are humans and have to behave like humans.
