Thread: A Donkey Story

A donkey was tied to a tree. One night a ghost cut the rope and released the donkey. The donkey went and destroyed the crops in a farmer's land. Infuriated, the farmer's wife shot the donkey and killed it. The donkey's owner was devastated at the loss.

In reply, he shot dead

the farmer's wife. Angered by his wife's death, the farmer took a sickle and killed the donkey's owner.
The wife of the donkey's owner got so angry that she and her sons set the farmer's house on fire.

The farmer, looking at his house turned into ashes, went ahead and killed both the wife and children of that donkey's owner.

Finally, when the farmer was full of regret, he asked the ghost as to why did it kill them all?

The ghost replied, "I killed nobody.

I just released a donkey that was tied to a rope. It is all of you who released the devil within you which resulted into everything bad that happened."

Today the media has become like the ghost. It keeps releasing donkeys on a daily basis.

The people foolishly take a stance and argue with one another endlessly. They end up ruining relationships, even when they know that their opinion is of little or no consequence

Be responsible and do not react to every donkey released by media and preserve your relationship with your friends and relatives. They are too precious to lose over the donkeys released by the crooked media and politicians.
