This allegory is vicious in its niceness. I love, love, love it!! I would say its on par with Voltaire in showing just how ridiculous some ways of thinking actually are.
Wow!!! Your comment is a wonderful keeper - I've taken a screenshot and am saving it for rereading when I need a pick-me-up!! Thank you so very much!!! 💚💚💚💚💚
Elephants forget Mother Nature is boss. Lessons learned on the turn of a page. Like the coffee cups. A think drink to remind us of possibilities to communicate.
Heartbreaking. (Grin) Poor elephants! They’d never behave like that! So I replaced every ‘elephant’ with ‘man’ and yep! Worked much better. I adore the art. And I’m not sure that George Bernard Shaw had that exactly right, but I can’t think what word should replace ‘cynisism’. ‘Honesty’ or ‘integrity’ perhaps…. Food for thought.
Thanks for another very cool hand-made post. Sending heaps of hugs and best wishes from my chilly part of the world. Stay cool over there.
Lol!!! Thank you!!! My wife does an eerily excellent Edith Ann impression so your comment is extra fun!!! And I'm glad you liked my giraffe!! As several have requested it I'm working on making an art print of it.

This is perfect! Love love love it! Thank you.
Hit send too soon. The Shaw quote is perfect-I’ve been called a cynic many times in my adult life. And took it as a badge of honor.
Sue! Awesome post - you've said so much of importance here. Absolutely smashing!
(As a tall-ie, I love my fellow giraffes very much, but there is absolutely a place for everyone, and I love them all!)
I'm so behind on my reading! Having a lovely Friday afternoon catching up. xxx
“You aren’t qualified to be here!” 🤣🤣🤣
Adorable!!!
What fun! Thank you.
