I Was Touched By This by dalyricist: 9:32am On Jun 05, 2015
There was this king that had 10 wild dogs? He used them to torture any of his ministers who made mistakes.

So one of the ministers once gave an opinion which was wrong, and which the king didn't like at all. So he ordered that the minister be thrown to the dogs.

So the minister said, “I served you 10 years and you do this? Please give me 10 days before you throw me to those dogs" So the king agreed.

In those 10 days the minister went to the guard that was guarding the dogs and told him he wants to serve the dogs for the next 10 days. The guard was baffled. But he agreed. So the minister started feeding the dogs, cleaning for them, washing them, providing all sorts of comfort for them.

So when the 10 days were up, the king ordered that the minister be thrown in to the dogs for his punishment. But when he was thrown in, people were amazed at what they saw. The dogs were licking the feet of the minister!

So the king baffled at what he saw. He said: "what happened !” The minister then said;” I served the dogs for 10 days and they didnt forget my Service. Yet I served you for 10 years and you forgot all at the first mistake!”? So the king realized his mistake and ordered the minister to go free.

This is a gift to all those who forget the good in others as soon as a problem arises. Don't wipe out the history that is filled with good because of a small incident you didn't like

We are better than animals, and we must prove it in our behaviours.

Good counsel

It all depends though. If the guard served for those 10 years, and his service was dedicated to haunting down and killing the king's people without justice, oppressing the people for the king, would you say that was a worthy Service? He would get his reward too someday...

If this were to be adopted as a standard protocol for judging people, then everyone in the world would be a saint.

I get the point, but it only applies when the service far outweighs the mistakes unlike the past leaders we've had whose mistakes have been more than their service. Our leaders lack passioné for Nigeria that's why we criticize them.
