Morals: Concerned with principles of right and wrong or conforming to standards of behavior and character based on those principles. (according to this chap Therasus)
Several boring stories are often told, then just when u think the story is starting to get somewhere, the story teller goes “so, the moral of the story is….” Then he goes ahead to tell u some bullshit that doesn’t really make much sense, at least from your point of view. I had totally forgotten this stuff till I got to re-watch the Stallone movie “Assasin”, and he told the main chick of the movie this story;
“Once upon a time (all moral stories start like that, except humpty “stupid” dumpty that just fell off a wall), there was a robin, a small bird known for it’s singing abilities, that lived way up there in the world, north pole. This little songstress was flying down south coz the winter stuff was getting crazier by the day, and since birds didn’t have the weather channel to warn them to leave early, the little bird had left late.
As the robin tried to make a large distance southwards, the cold quickly caught up with it (too bad for small wings) and the snow froze the little thing. A Falcon, a way larger bird that was also en-route South, on it’s way above this little bird, “shat” on the little bird. The shit from the falcon provided warmth for the robin, melting away the ice that had entrapped the bird, it became too happy and started singing, as usual.
The sounds of a singing bird attracted a fox that was straying nearby, prompting it to approach the sounds, and licked the shit off the erstwhile frozen bird. On realizing it was a live bird, the fox ate the damn robin!!
The moral of the story is;
• Not everyone that puts you in shit has bad intentions for you.
• Not everyone that gets you out of shit has good intentions for you.
• When you are in shit…..keep yo damn mouth shut!!!
See, that’s how story tellers mess us up, coz now you must have thought the robin was going to get into some adventures with the fox or something, but no, it’s just a moral!
The winner moral story however is that which is being used by some financial company to make you pay them. See, in this story, Bob has just gotten onto the shower, his wife has just finished her morning shower, so she is masquerading around in her towel, then the door bell rings.
Bob’s wife goes and opens the door and there is Tim, their neighbor. Tim tells Bob’s wife he is willing to pay her 200 dollars if she drops her towel.
She promptly does!
After his “optical nutrition”, Tim gives her 200 dollars. She returns upstairs, and Bob is like
“Who was that”, she says “oh, it was tim”, then Bob goes “great…..did he say anything about the 200 dollars he owes me???”
Moral of the story;
If you share critical information pertaining to risk and credit with all stakeholders in time, you may be in position to prevent avoidable exposure!! (call NSC ltd, Financial Services at your finger tips)
Kumbe I was expecting Bob to go kick Tim’s ass, but it’s just another of those moral stories.
The moral of this story therefore is, if you don’t have a story to tell, just tell stories with morals, then u will have told your own story in tricks!!
