The story of the fox who lost his tail.
There was once a fox who lost his tail. He came back in pain, and all the other foxes laughed at him.
To hide his shame, he said, “Actually, I feel lighter now. Happier without it.”
Other foxes started cutting off their tails too — just to fit in.
And soon, the tailless foxes became the majority.
That’s what happens when lies spread — they start to look like truth.
And the few who stay honest get mocked for being different.
The foxes were just cutting off their tail to fit in. Many of us are easily deceived, just like the foxes.
So, maybe it’s time to ask ourselves: Are we just following the foxes?
