The Ass and His Masters
A DISCONTENTED ASS who felt that the gardner for whom he worked was a hard taskmaster appealed to Jupiter to give him another master. Annoyed by the ass's ingratitude, Jupiter bound him over to a potter who gave him even heavier burdens to bear.
Again the ass besought Jupiter. This time it was arranged to have him sold to a tanner. Finding that he had fallen into worse hands than ever, the ass said with a groan: "Alas, wetch that I am. Would that I had remained content with my former masters. My new owner not only works me harder while I am alive, but will not even spare my hide when I am dead!"
Lesson: He that finds discontentment in one place is not likely to find happiness in another.

Do you see demands for Sharia, coming from the protesters?
ReplyDeleteThe Muslim Brotherhood opposed the demonstrations, then joined later. Where is the base for them? Will the army allow them?
You're dead wrong. Egypt won't accept Islamism.
I only heard the Muslim Brotherhood joined after the demonstrations started.
ReplyDeleteWhich is an indication that they were waitng in the wings.
The Muslim Brotherhood does run the blackmarket in Egypt so getting youth out there first wouldn't be to hard.
Why is it they always pick on the youth's desire: Before the youth have had experinece in life to understand what all actions encompass?
The Muslim Brotherhood is neither.
ReplyDeleteThe danger is that the army gives in to calls for democracy and the Muslim Brotherhood is the best organized political party.
