Did we understand- the value of trust, integrity, and the consequences of deceit?

In Ivan Krylov's story, a lion wants to catch a chamois (GOAT). The chamois is quick and lives in the mountains, so the lion can't catch it alone. The lion asks a fox to help him catch the chamois.

The fox tricks the chamois into a trap. The lion catches the chamois and keeps it for himself, breaking his promise to the fox.

The fox is disappointed but not surprised by the lion's betrayal. The story ends with the fox thinking about promises and being careful with other people's power.

Lessons:

1. Don't trust promises from the powerful. The fable teaches us to be careful with those in power. The powerful may not always keep their promises. Be aware of potential betrayals.

2. Trust and deceit: trust is good, but deceit can lead to disappointment. The fox is clever and succeeds in its plan. The lion is deceitful and cannot be trusted when greed and power are involved.

3. Self-reliance and prudence. Relying on others is risky. It's better to rely on yourself and think carefully about what you do.

4. Know why people do things. The story shows that it's important to understand why people do what they do. Knowing when someone is selfish or greedy helps you make better decisions about who to trust.

5. Adaptability and intelligence. The fox is smart and can adapt, which helps it survive and deal with challenges. These qualities help you deal with complex problems better than brute strength alone.

Ivan Krylov's stories use animals to teach moral lessons. This story uses simple storytelling to teach about trust, power and human nature.

Deeper Thoughts

Could I respectfully propose that we consider the extent to which we can apply rationality when making purchases, given the paramount importance of this aspect of our lives?

In a democratic society, individuals (government officials) have the power to influence change. However, until every person in India has a comprehensive understanding of key concepts such as debt monetization, inflation and fiat money, it may be challenging to fully realize their rights and responsibilities in selecting the right candidates to represent their needs and take valuable actions.

This raises an interesting question: why don't we have more than two prime minister candidates in a country with a crores of population? (This is not just a question for India, but for the wider global context.)

Perhaps offering 2 options for candidates encourages us to select one. (Masterplan)

In most other areas of life, we appreciate having a range of choices to suit our individual needs.

While purchasing items such as ice cream, cars, shoes, clothes, toothpaste, laptops, smartphones, pizza, noodles, haircuts, and so on, you understand my point, I hope.

When there are fewer options, prices go up. like Reliance Jio and Airtel recently did, are the two biggest phone companies. We don't have as many SIM card options as we used to.

The powerful understand how to stay powerful.

In the context of investing, big companies grow and stay relevant by acquiring small firms. They understand the market fit of the product and have the resources to make anything special.

BY Marketing, Promotions, and Brand Building with the help of cash which the maximum population of Indians don't have.

(Like how BYJUs became the brand, and where is it now?)

People of India are special and unique, may they don't understand the concepts, but they can feel "Daal me kuch kala hai" Is results of elections may be the truth between Groundwork and Marketing ? Don't follow my views, at least start doubting others.
