The Lion and The Mouse and the modern society

Just came back from a long break. No internet, no radio, no paper, no book, minimal TV. :)

This week....

A LION was sounded asleep. A Mouse tripped over the Lion

while playing hide and seek with his friends. 

The Lion was awakened. He caught the Mouse

and was about to kill him. 

The Mouse was terrified. He begged: 

"If you spare my life today, 

I would surely repay your kindness one day." 

The Lion laughed and let him go. 

Not long after this, the Lion was caught in a net,

a trap set by human. He roared out loud in desperation. 

The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came and bit the rope

with his teeth and set him free.

Moral: An act of kindness, no matter how small, 

       will never be wasted 

The Lion and The Mouse

There is a quote related to this:

Do not commit an bad act no matter how small;

Do not neglect a kind deed because it is small. 

Nowadays, with the improvement of living standard, 

education level, modernization of the society, 

we are evolving to adapt to the changes that are happening

around us. Some for the better; some for worse.

In the olden days, most of the ancient teachings are 

passed down knowledge from mother or father to sons or daughters.

In the modern society, most of the parents are working

(some exceptions in the villages). They have no time to guide

the children. So, the adults are expecting the teachers

in the schools will teach the kids basic manners. 

There is a phrase used in this part of the world

to indicate those who are very bad in manner:

" He/She never study in school".

If the kids never like the schools, they might learn from

friends or the medias like internet and TV.

Looking into our current society, some might want to ask:

What is important to us?

What are we doing and what is amiss?

Why are the social problems ever increasing?

What has happened to our education systems, family structure and society?

 What do you need as a teenager? What do you expect as an adult? 

How far would you act as a teacher? 

What is the best way to decide a best solution for the country? 

Look forward to hear your views here.
