Aesop's Fable Friday

The Rivers and the Sea

Once upon a time all the Rivers combined to protest against the action of the Sea in making their waters salty.

"When we come to you," they said to the Sea, "we are sweet and drinkable: but when once we have mingled with you, our waters become as briny and unpalatable as your own."

The Sea replied shortly, "Keep away from me and you'll remain sweet."

Moral of the story: Some people find fault even with the things that benefit them.

Wow! This thought can be applied to the situation in which we find ourselves today!
