Grass is Blue

A monkey and a tiger got into an argument about the color of the grass, the monkey insisted that it was blue whereas the tiger maintained that it was green, the case ended up in court and the judge ruled in the favor of the monkey and ordered punishment for the tiger. The stunned tiger asked the judge how could you pass such a judgment to which the judge replied that the punishment was just to teach him a lesson that he should never waste his time again arguing with a monkey.

There is a fake news factory that predates social media by millions of years and that factory is our consciousness and the thoughts it generates, most of the thoughts that arise in consciousness are negative and bereft of fact, overwhelmingly it carries negative emotions like fear, anxiety, jealousy, insecurity, greed, etc. The thoughts that arise in consciousness are like the monkey and we as tigers always fall into the trap by identifying with these thoughts and paying a heavy price for it, for every time we identify with a thought it takes our focus away from the present moment and into the future or past.

To ensure we do not fall prey to the monkey, we have to practice meditation which empowers us with non-identification with thoughts ensuring we live our lives staying in the present moment and make wise decisions in every moment free from any distraction created by the monkey.
