Ok, let me tell you a story. Once upon a time in a shiny day the Raccoon, as usual, visited his BFF the Beaver at the river bank just to find the water level in the river went below the lowest mark ever. Both friends stood puzzled by the water. Then the Raccoon spoke first:
- Why had the water disappeared? The ecology of the entire region is in danger! What are we going to drink?
- I know why is that! That is because the frogs drank all the water. I respect the frogs when they jump on their land, but when they go into water they drink it, so eventually they drank it all!
- No, that can't be a reason. The frogs are too small.
- That's just the frogs' propaganda. I know them better because I used to live closer to the river when I was a child. I'm telling you it's the frogs! They are so greedy. When they see water they drink it.
- But both of us drink the water too.
- Why are you protecting them?! Do you want the frogs come to your pond and drink all your water too?!
- No, I didn't say so. But we have other life forms in our pond who drink water and it does not seem logical they would drink it all.
- Remember, I said long ago there is not enough water in the river to allow us to drink and swim in it because of those dry desert creatures. They need water, so we can't drink it as we want.
- I don't agree with that. If they want to drink more water, they should start digging for it in the ground rather than spend their entire time hunting each other.
- I don't want to hear what you say and I don't want to reply to it. The frogs are the most hypocritical of all. They drink the water, they swim in it, they don't care about the desert creatures, and finally they drank the entire river!!
- Come on, I don't see any logic in what you said. Please, think it through first. Look at how much water is flowing every day. Do you think frogs can drink it all? What about the tomorrow water? Where is it coming from? Perhaps, something had happened to the river flow? Maybe, something got stuck up the river that prevents the water to flow?
- I prefer to ignore what you said.
- You're not logical! How what you described could ever happen?
- Well, I choose to express an opinion, instead of just picking holes in what everyone else is saying, without ever letting on what my own views actually are...!
