It will eventually end up in a way that is NO BIG deal from either way we have chosen.
Zhuangzi told this story to his disciples to make a point.
Once a zookeeper said to his monkeys: "You'll get 3 bananas in the Morning and 4 in the Afternoon."
All monkeys are upset.
"OK. How about 4 bananas in Morning and 3 in the Afternoon?"
Hearing this, the monkeys are content.

Some monkeys scared die at noon --- die yuan wang, short of 1 banana...
ReplyDeleteSmart monkeys will sacrifice & delay instant gratification --- use up 2-3 bananas to plant --- Wait for banana trees to mature in 9 months. After that can eat bananas like siao liao.
Can also sell or trade extra bananas with other monkeys too.
But ... but ... how many monkeys can wait 9 months?!?!?! Kekekekeke!!!
Wah! Good story
DeleteDelay gratification will not work sometimes; especially what you don't want to spend to eat, what you like now, you will regret why it's so expensive in a few months time.
