  1. So is the moral – “don’t die, proving your point?” or maybe “Don’t let stupid people be the death of you!” Or maybe it’s “there is nothing new under the heavens”

  2. I love this story! It is one of the stories that I went back for more details and pondered. It seems that the first gnous knew something and wanted so badly to prove themself right till they lost their life. What’s the point of proving it right? Maybe the second gnous is also going to do the same thing?

  3. The story reminds me of my mother who tried to advise me (as a teenager) on different things in life based on her experience, but I understood her advices only 20+ years later when I tried to do the same with my children, while they were behaving like me as a teenager – it seems like a normal cycle of life – my children will get it when they have their own children ; )

     

    1. Oui, c’est si vrai Nadya ! Tes parents te donnent des conseils, ils te répètent la même chose tout le temps et quand tu es enfant et adolescent, te ne les écoutes pas. C’est bien plus tard que tu te rends compte que tes parents avaient raison ! Et puis, c’est ton tour de répéter toujours la même chose à tes propres enfants, ah, ah !
