Fast Felines

Two cats met in an alley.

The first cat greeted the other with a mew and exclaimed, “You are looking younger today!”

“Yes,” replied the second cat, “my owners took me along to see their relatives over the weekend, and drove very fast.”

“So, what did it do to your appearance?” The first cat looked puzzled.

”My master who is a physicist says that if you travel very fast, according to Einstein’s theory of relativity, you age less and remain younger,” the second cat mewed proudly.

“Aha!” the first cat exclaimed joyfully at if it had discovered something, “now I understand what my master says.”

“Huh, what does he say?” The eyes of the second cat lit up with excitement.

“He says,” the first cat narrated thoughtfully, “those who drive fast die young.”

At that point a dog barked nearby and both cats ran in opposite directions – very fast.

Moral: What you mean is not necessarily what others understand.

The RANK Principle

RANK is the abbreviation for “Reform And Not Kill”. The principle was successfully exercised by immortal men such as Jesus, Muhammad and Gandhi. It can be explained briefly in the following way.

If you kill an enemy, you reduce the number of your enemies by one; but at least two of his or her relatives, friends and sympathizers become your enemies. Thus, actually by killing an enemy you increase the number of your enemies. On the other hand if you reform your enemy, he or she becomes your friend and also enlists a few others as your friends. Consequently, you have fewer enemies and more friends.

The winning strategy for yourself and your future generations is to reform your enemies rather than killing them.
