WHEN WILL THE LEOPARD DIE?

‘When will the goat be strong enough to kill a leopard?’



Today’s post may be very funny to those who still consider the possibility of a goat killing a leopard. Let’s be patient enough to consider what the ancestors have for us today.

A goat is a very strong and unique animal. It is a domestic animal that runs no errand for anyone. People usually believe that the goat is stubborn because it personally chooses not to follow other people’s opinion, advice, instruction or belief. Unlike the dog or cat, all the goat does is to stick ruthlessly to whatever it chooses to follow. But no matter how strong a goat is, it can never ever kill a leopard.

A leopard on the other hand is a very strong wild animal. It is usually known for its ability to run at speeds approaching 58 kilometers per hour (36 mph), its unequaled ability to climb trees even when carrying a heavy carcass, and its notorious ability for stealth. The leopard consumes virtually any animal that it can hunt down and catch (the goat is not an exception). But it could be very difficult for a leopard to encounter a goat in the forest because both of them do not exist in the same world. This means that there may not be a common ground for a goat and a leopard to confront each other in a battle (no matter how strong they are).

Also in life, no matter how strong we are, it could be very difficult for us to personally pull down, castigate, overthrown or override on others who we consider as our enemies. It is always good for us to avoid trouble by remaining in our territory and allow our competitors or rivals to exist only in their world. Don’t allow the thought of conquering or killing your enemy to overwhelm you to the extent that you would forget to cross your natural boundary.

It is better to live peacefully as a king in your world than to be treated as a slave or stranger in another man’s world. Instead of asking your creator to strengthen you to kill your leopard, it is better for you to discover your individuality and unique purpose of existence. Once you have discovered your purpose, follow it thoroughly to the extent that no other persons would be strong enough to cross your path.

Hmmm, it is only the ancestors who know when the goat will be strong enough to kill a leopard.
