When two things of opposite abilities come together to run the same race, unless something happens the one built for speed, will win. that is elementary dear watson. In the story of the hare and the turtle having to race from the same point to the same point, the turtle only won.... because the hare had a sleep during the race, he was over confident in the future. (thinking he had it summed up). As failed to see that if he took his speed for granted, by having a nap, he could lose the race. His sleep was deeper than he bargained on and while he was sleeping the turle passed him and won the race. the meaning of the story to me is the end of something is not always as we think. Sometimes the confidence and belief in own strength and ability, can bring about a smugness, this then becomes the weakness. And can be the difference between winning in life or losing in life. the fact the turtle won the race was only to tell us that fact. As if the hare had of run the race without the sleep, he would have won. The turtle would have come in second as he has only been built to take life slowly. We may see this story in another light if we choose. But what this person has done to me, has shone the light on the over cockie hare making his unconsciouse sleep a consiouse sacrifice for the one he loved. This making the loser the hero (even suffered as a martyr) if we choose to see this narriators version of the story in their light. As for me I perfer the true orginal story, as in life people who should win lose, and people who should lose win. and that is the beauty of life (not taking it granted), without changing the story and needing to get sensual love out of story that has been told to wake people up. To their own weakness of thinking they are better than others. This persons misguided partenering of a hare and a turtle , the children of this union would have been hard shelled over hopping offspring of a father who proclaims love through sacrifice and and a mother being the victor because of this. Not seeing that the turtle was the stonger competitor and refusing to see the hare as the weaker, has changed a good story and made it bad. angiexoxo the Hare was so self confident because of his obvious advanteage of speed that nature had given him for his own good, especially in times of pinching vegetable from that farmers garden.
