An Interaction between a Man and an Ant
A small Ant was moving a food particle on the
dining table, a man who was sitting on a dining chair, tried to squeeze the
Ant. The Ant immediately shouted with a human voice and said " Before
killing me, just hear me for a while
The man was surprised and moved closer to the Ant & asked
what are you going to tell me tiny Ant?
The Ant replied " You can call me Ant, whether I am tiny
or not you will understand". The man said " Tell me, what is it that
you wanted to convey"
The Ant said “I am not capable of making my own food, but
though you people are capable of making your own food, you are still dependent
on outside food.”
The doorbell rings and a man rush to the door to pick a
home delivered food packet and places it on the table. The Ant looks at the
table and moves forward to see the kitchen. The man rubs his forehead and looks
at the Ant and tells, “proceed”
The Ant moved closer and tells- I move a food particle which
weighs many times heavier than me, though I am physically incapable, but I am
mentally capable, but you humans are afraid to carry your burdens and succumb
to stress”-
The Ant Said- “We save for the rainy day to ensure we don’t
die out of starvation- but you humans have learnt how to spend and pay later”
The man was engrossed with the Ant’s wisdom and sadly placed
his credit card on the table
The Ant also said that- “When Ants join together it is team
that works but when you humans join together it is ego that works”
The Ant said “now you have a choice to
either squeeze me by calling me Tiny or just allow me to go in my direction”
A
teenager entered the dining hall and he opened the food packet and said daddy
can’t you see there is an Ant next on the dining table & he immediately
squeezed it.
The
father asked “why did you do that”
Son
replied *“it was a tiny Ant”
The
father said “Giant in mind but tiny in size whereas we are giant in size but
tiny in mind”
