    Yeah I'm surprised to see such a well-meaning fable being taken so literally as to be dissected and argued over.
    I'm not saying it's either good or bad, I've just never seen it done before :)

    But look where it is posted. Got to find the real meaning behind it...

    Some people have been complaining that the original post was like the message on a Hallmark card and so on and I have to say I agree. Although it's possible to start a philosophical discussion from just about anywhere, I don't think this fable approach is the best and certainly, in this case, the message has been overanalysed! There are a lot of similar messages floating around on the internet and this forum would be swamped if people were to post up even a fraction of the amount of such material they receive.

    This forum is for discussion rather than sharing feel-good messages. I'll lock this thread and leave it here for now but any such messages posted here in future will most likely end up in afterhours or elsewhere unless they provide a more substantial basis for discussion.
