It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest -- and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man.JN Kishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11985914272390847213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648619937828696397.post-11518449214777684472009-09-18T20:46:13.697-05:002009-09-18T20:46:13.697-05:00Dear Anonymous,
I chose not to post your version ...Dear Anonymous,<br /><br />I chose not to post your version of this fable. I did this for several reasons and would like to take this opportunity to reiterate the points of the original post:<br /><br />1) Many things have changed since the time of Aesop (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aesop%27s_Fables).<br />2) The moral of the fable- "be responsible for yourself" is age-old wisdom that can not be denied.<br />3) The current social, political and media examples provided in the posting run contrary to the moral of the fable.<br />4) If you want the world to be a better place- Be careful how you vote in 2010.<br /><br />Note: If you create and sign in with a blogger account, your comments will be immediately posted to this blog- all anonymous comments are subject to moderation.<br /><br />J.N.
