Young Chinese, a student of philosophy, presented the great Chinese philosopher Confucius of the Sunni Minister. When Confucius walked away, the young man visited the great lady to understand his opinion of the famous guest.
“After seeing Confucius,” the minister said, “you seem to me very small, like a louse or a flea. Today I will present it to the master.
And then the young disciple, fearing that the master would exaggerate too much Confucius, told the minister:
“When the master meets Confucius, you will be like a louse or a flea!”
And the minister gave up his intention.

Yes

No

Those are beautiful trees in your capture.
Punishing is easy for anything we don’t like
It does not pay to be proud, the fall is very hurtful
don’t use any metric on others that you aren’t willing to apply to yourself
Yes. I agree with what you say Alex
I wish more people did…
And we are not the moral punishers of the proud and haughty. In time, the prideful will meet theirs, as we meanwhile, deal with ours.
Thank you for the proverb.
Sooner or later they get a punishment
I think that such people sooner or later get a penalty
And so I think everyone sooner or later gets their credit.
Beautiful pictures, dear friend
Thank you for enjoying my photos
What a great story to ponder over. And love the photo.
Many lessons can teach a person by the end.
Pride comes before a fall.
It hurts a lot when you get the bottom from the top.
