“High and mighty”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
says the goat one day on a high mountain pass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“High and mighty you are oh great mountain. I too shall be great if I can climb and master you too.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Oh? How is that so?” Responds the confused or perplexed mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“How does it deem you are greater than I or much greater or just as great when you can climb all over me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is your measure of greatness? Your ability to step on my face and myself in letting you do so?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where is my praise and reward for doing so or letting you do so?” Says the saddened mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I thought we were friends” says the goat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“You should let me walk all over you to prove I am just as great if not better then you.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“But why?” Says the perplexed mountain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I don\u2019t do that to you? I never ask nor demand to walk all over your face to prove I am better if not stronger than me and you combined?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How is that strength? How is that friendship?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Oh” says the goat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“You were never truly my friend. I only said that to make you believe we are so that I can then walk all over you and for you to let me.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And with that admission, the goat continues to climb without the mountain’s permission, slips and falls to its own death.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
