Perspective!

Posted by Dan Tocchini on July 23rd, 2008 filed in The Lighter Side

An elderly man in North Carolina had owned a large farm for several years. He had a large pond in the back, fixed up really nice, along with some picnic tables, horseshoe courts, and some apple and peach trees. The pond was properly shaped and fixed up for swimming when it was built.

One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond, as he hadn’t been there for a while, and look it over. He grabbed a five gallon bucket to bring back some fruit.
As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. When he came closer, he realized it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his pond. He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end to shield themselves. One of the women shouted to him, ‘We’re not coming out until you leave!’
The old man frowned and replied, ‘I didn’t come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get out of the pond naked.’ Holding the bucket up he said, ‘I’m here to feed the alligator.’

    This story makes me think of all the things we do to achieve the results we want. If someone doesn’t want to do what we want them to, we change the story to “convince” them of our ways. I have done this so many times, it’s like a kind of manipulation or passive-agressive posture. It’s as if you try to provote an instictual behaviour from others in order to achieve your agenda.

    How fascinating!
