Frogs of the well!


"You are a scar on the new generation of frogs," the ocean frog scolded the frog of the well.
"Why do you think so?" asked the frog of the well.
"From generations, we are condemned as 'frogs of the well', and you still live in the well allowing for the condemnation of our species."
"So, what do you suggest?"
"Jump out of the well and fall into the ocean, then none will condemn us as frogs of the well."
"So, you fell into the ocean to escape the condemnation?"
"Yes, everyone of us jumped out of the well and now have made the ocean our home! We run onto the shore when there is a wave and move in when the wave calms down. Everyone amongst us is respected because we are no more frogs of the well, but frogs of the ocean."
"Oh, that means you are still bound to the shore?"
"So what? It is the shore of the ocean and we are called ocean frogs, mind you."
"Ever explored how deep is the well you previously lived in?"
"No, why should we?"
"Ever explored how far is the ocean you presently live in?"
"No, why should we?"
"Yeah, why should you? We all are still frogs of the well. Maybe the well which I reside in is small enough for you to look at its boundaries, but your vision not far enough to recognise the boundaries of your own well!"
