The Camel and Jupiter

Celine Dion has a song 'If Wall Could Talk'.............. What would a camel wish for if it can talk?


The Camel and Jupiter


Long long time ago, a camel saw a bull adorned with horns, he envied him and wished that he himself could obtain the same honor. He went to Jupiter, and besought him to give him horns. Jupiter, vexed at his request because he was not satisfied with his size and strength of body, and desired yet more, not only refused to give him horns, but even deprived him of a portion of his ears.



Were the camels living in million years ago having two large ears like the elephants? They asked for horns and be given tasks, so, they became another type of animal named elephant?


Is there anything wrong trying to look more beautiful or manly?

Imagine if the camel's wish was granted, he had horns. What would he do with the horns? What kind of animal was so tall that the camel could poke on it for fun? What kind of position would the camel need to be in order to use the horns?  Will the horns be an asset or a burden later?


I believe the camel did and does appreciate who it is and counting its blessings. Other wise, camel could have been long extincted - committed suicide (??). The camel was actually asking for more blessings (the camel thought the horns were a blessing) or things. Is there anything wrong to ask for more things in life?


Nothing wrong to ask more. So, Jupiter was too strict, too quick to get angry and to quick to punish?

Will we be punished if we ask for more? What define 'more'? How much is 'more'?

My friend once suggested that in order to justify our need, we can always ask: what will i do with that? If we can satisfy with the reasons, probably no harm getting. The worse of the outcome is probably giving it away if it is an excessive waste or facing bankrupt if it is a depreciating asset or liability.

I want to have more in life without being punished or becoming something else. Wondering which God should i ask.............hmmmm.....
