Thought for the Day

By your words, will you be judged. A king, out on hunting, happened to ride so far that his retinue could not catch up with him. He saw a blind man by the jungle road and so he accosted him, "Hello, dear man. Did you notice any one passing along?" The blind man said, "No." Then after a few minutes, the minister came along and asked the same man, "Hey brother! Did you notice any one passing along?" and got the same answer. The commander when he saw him asked, "Here, you fool! Did you notice someone passing along?" and a soldier who came last shouted, "You blind rotter, open your foul mouth and tell me whether any one passed this way." At last when the priest of the court came along and said, "Dear brother, please tell me whether any one passed this way," he could reply that a king, a minister, a commander and a soldier had passed and had asked him the same question. Each one’s style of speech had revealed their status and character.
