A pig and a boat travel

 

Once a man was travelling in a boat with his pig.
There was a philosopher along with some passengers in the boat.
The pig had never travelled in a boat before, so it was not feeling comfortable.
It was frantically going up and down the boat grunting, and not letting anyone sit in peace.
The boatman was troubled by this and was concerned that the boat might sink due to the panic of the disturbed passengers.
If the pig didn’t calm down it will certainly drown the boat.
The man was very upset about the situation, but could not find a way to calm the pig.
The philosopher watched all this for some time & decided to help.
He said: "If you allow, I can make this pig as quiet as a house cat."
All the passengers on board the boat, immediately agreed.
The philosopher, with the help of two other passengers, picked up the pig and threw it into the river.
The pig desperately started to swim in order to stay afloat. It was dying and struggled for its life.
After some time, the philosopher dragged the pig back into the boat. The pig quietly went and sat in a corner.
The man and all passengers were surprised witnessing the sudden changed behaviour of the pig.
The man asked the philosopher: "At first it was jumping up and down. Now it is sitting quiet, like a pet cat. Why?"
Philosopher said, “No one realises the misfortune of another without tasting trouble. So, when I threw this pig into the water, it understood the power of water and the usefulness of the boat."
Similarly, Pigs that are jumping up and down in our country thereby disturbing its peace should be thrown in Somalia, North Korea, Afghanistan, South Sudan, Syria, Iraq, Pakistan or China for just six months. Then on returning to India, they will automatically be calm as a pet cat and will just lie quietly in a corner.

Nature is Awesome

                Nature is Awesome Javed Chaudhary   · Y e s t e r d a y   a t   2 : 4 3   A M   · WHY DO DOGS LIVE LESS THAN HUMANS!!! Here's the surprising answer of a 6-year-old child. Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog’s owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle. I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn’t do anything for Belker and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home. As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience. The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker‘s family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the...

intelligence is not about knowledge

Joel Reid Science Teacher (Secondary) Updated 3y Was anyone 1,000 years ago as smart as someone with average intelligence today? I was teaching a science class in the Australian desert and the class was quietly working (it was a nice class). I looked out the window and I commented to no one in particular, “Looks like there will be a cyclone next week.” The students mostly started laughing and one piped up “The national meteorologists said that the low would pass by without any problem.” But there was a part of the class that did not object to my announcement… the local indigenous people. Instead they asked, “How do you [of European descent] know what our elders know?” I smiled and pointed out the window, “The wind has changed to go in the opposite direction, the clouds have moved north instead of south, and the corellas (a small cockatoo) have all left town and gone to shelter in Karijini (local mountain range).” The indigenous students were impressed and everyone else t...
