Donkeys doo like politics ..

I was little surprised to hear the latest statement from Bush on the growing consumption from the rising Indian middle class. What happened to Bush ? What is he talking ? .. Is this what called the great American Politics. Hope he doesn’t urge U.N to raid our national warehouses.

O.k. If you are not a fan of politics or politicians you will like this story.

Once Lao Tzu was going from one town to another on his donkey. A messenger from the emperor came and told Lao Tzu, “The emperor has heard about you and he would like you to become a part of his court. He needs wise men there.”Lao Tzu treated the messenger very courteously, but said, “No, it is impossible. I am grateful. Thank the emperor, but it is impossible.”When the messenger was going, Lao Tzu washed his ears with water, and washed the ears of the donkey also.A man who was standing by the road asked, “What are you doing, sir?”.He said, “I am washing my ears, because even the messenger from the world of politics is dangerous.”The man asked, “But why are you washing the ears of the donkey?”.

He said, “Donkeys are very political. He is already walking in a different way! The moment he heard and saw the messenger from the court, he became very egoistic.

Donkeys tend to be political. I don’t much understand the language of the court, but he understands, because similar donkeys are there. The language is the same.”

Poll-ticks… Funny isn’t it…
