ABUNDANCE TALE no. 7
(NOTE: ABUNDANCE Tale comes out every Friday for your weekend Reflection. It is a modern-day fable, short, sweet, sometimes with a twist, but never with a directly stated moral. It becomes an organic, evolving piece because YOU, and each reader, derive your own take from it, whether from one of the characters or the theme itself.)
What, to you, is the moral of this week's tale?
THE NEW KING
One morning, in a palace somewhere near the mountains, a new king rises.
"I am the new King. I want a new crown. I want a new robe. I want a new throne."
"Your Highness, the crown, the robe and the throne have been passed on from king to king to king. Royal tradition commands this.", explains one of the king's advisers.
"Bah, I hear none of this. I am in command now. Make me a new crown, a new robe, a new throne."
"Right away, Your Highness."
On the day of the ceremony, the new king beams as he wears his new crown and new robe, and sits at his new throne. The crowd cheers long and loud, so he stands to wave at the happy throng.
He then walks forward to speak, But he steps on his robe and falls to the ground head first.

4yHa ha good morning Pido Aguilar He wanted to be different but first refused to take the advice of those who had valued experience for him. Definitely his pride came first and as the saying goes, he had a hard fall. @abundance Pido Aguilar

4yPido Aguilar 🤔 He did not value wisdom from the past, and is too much into his own ways. Sometimes there are good learning we can leverage on. But we are blinded and will stumble to learn our way.
Abundance and Creativity for a FULLER LIFE
