I started the story a skeptic but was won over. This was a really well-done and clever fable, and I was happy to see your sense of humor too!

Yes! We need more wisdom stories for our insane times! Stories go deeper than explanations. And... please continue the comedy! I know I'm really enjoying something when I'm alone in my home laughing out loud (even while my assumptions are being challenged).

Well folks, we had a good run. Now Jeff is going to get canceled for appropriating a nonexistent culture.

Loved the story, by the way. Very cool.

Great story. Loved it! Shared it. Please do more.

This was unusual, funny, and had a serious message I wish more people - especially more of the manly men I know - could comprehend.

Where did you find something like this…or was it simply wallowing around in your brain?
