A drill sergeant barked out an order to a bunch of recruits: "All you dumbbells, get moving!"
All but one obeyed.
Angered by his seeming defiance, the sergeant marched up to him and growled, "Well?"
The young recruit replied, "There certainly were a lot of them, Sir!"
When is it wise to take advice or an order? When is wisdom best served by listening and then making a wise and well thought decisions.
Once upon a time there was a person who was a fool, and he stayed that way.
He would never listen to advice.
He would never study to gain information either secular or sacred. He had a hard head and every day it grew harder, a cruel heart and ever day it grew more mean, a weak soul and as the days passed
He did nothing to improve the twisted and dark path down which he passed.
He cursed God, found fault with people, carried a chip on his shoulder, and never sang a song.
He found every day more miserable than the last and blamed everybody and everything buthimself.
And one day he died, unblessed, unlovely and unloved, a destiny never having found his better self, a life wasted.
Once upon a time…every life begins that way, and an unknown number of tomorrows stretch ahead – to what?
