Stupid 'Scientist'Ah Gong, an ignorant and dull-witted young man, decided to become a scientist. He started his first experiment with a spider. He cut two of its legs, and said to the spider, "Move". The spider moved. Then he removed two more legs and again said, "Move". The poor spider wriggled in pain and moved a little. Then Ah Gong removed the remaining legs and ordered the spider to move. This time the spider did not move.
Ah Gong wrote the following conclusion in his note book:
“IF YOU CUT ALL THE LEGS OF A SPIDER IT BECOMES DEAF.”

Reflection: * Out of ignorance, no understanding, no compassion, a person can resort to acts of cruelty that cause pain to others.
* When one lacks understanding and clear comprehension, one can make stupid and erroneous conclusions from the data and information one gets or observation one makes from the outside world.
* Only the wise can truly understand and see the true nature of things.
