Remember that story? The hare. The tortoise. The fast one. The slow one. And finally, the tortoise wins. What is it about that tale that we find interesting? Is it because the tortoise represents most of us? Is it because the underdog wins? I dont know. I think the story is more symbolic. It reminds us that perseverance is important. Moreover, it reiterates the need for focus. What I think is most fascinating is this. The tortoise's win is always mentioned with an element of surprise. Would it be surprising if the tortoise were to claim that it always knew who the winner would be?
Closing thoughts for tonight... If there were a sequel (like Shrek movies), who do you think would win? The hare? Because it has learnt a lesson and is now more careful? Or the tortoise? Because it has another trick up its sleeve? Who knows...
