A Powerful Story About Anger

[Levon]

One night after closing time a snake found its way inside a home improvement store…

As the snake slithered around… it clipped itself on a hand saw that was lying on the ground. Thinking the saw was a threat… the snake instantly snapped around and bit the saw. Of course this caused much more damage with the snake cutting inside its mouth.

Not understanding what was happening, and thinking the saw was an enemy… the snake wrapped its long body around the saw… attempting to suffocate it…
Of course, the snake didn’t do any damage to the saw… instead ended up being killed by the sharp blade of the saw.​

…the snake ended up being killed by its own anger… by its own REACTION to something it thought was out to get it…

Indeed, holding onto anger is like drinking poison & expecting the other person to die..!

I hold onto anger. I enjoy it immensely.

I hold onto anger. I enjoy it immensely.

I read online and saw on a podcast, that Ivermectin will help with that.

Was the snake angry or just stupid?

 

[Levon]

An interesting question. What do you think, Reggie?

Was the snake angry or just stupid?

The snake was a conservative. Same thing.
See, Loktardo's post above.

Guessing insults are okay now in general since you've revised the rules and are running things now?

So you can't site a violation? I've sited actual violations in Gen Disc and no action was taken
.what would it mean if you can't site one and an action was taken?

Guise, please no politics in this thread and try being civil to each other. I'd like to keep the thread up here in General, which is where the OP belongs.

Yeah! Keep youse guyses political shitbaggery out of this thread, for crying out loud!

So, Levon, is the stupid snake a metaphor for the January 6th Insurrectionist Trumpians gutting themselves on the cold hard realities of the implacable Deep State, or could it refer to the Disney perverts getting all triggered over a simple law prohibiting public employees from teaching children anything about human sexuality and severely wounding their own woke corporation?

I can read it either way.

 

[Levon]

I can read it either way.

Indeed you can, good sir. And without prejudice to your own favorite issues, there are tons of other ways one might read the story. That's the cool thing about metaphor, you know.

I think the most useful reading is to take it at face value. It's a cautionary tale about hate and resentment. The snake isn't even "stupid" since the reptile brain is all it has to work with, but of course a humanoid that behaved in the same way would indeed be "stupid" for not using its superior brain to find a better response.
