How to Quench Your Thirst

A lesson on accepting others' opinions.

---

Two friends got lost in the mountains in the summer. They ran out of water and suffered greatly from thirst.

Unexpectedly, the travelers came to a shepherd's hut, who brought them a bucket of clean and cool water. They scooped up a mug and began to drink. One of the friends drank quickly and in large sips, and the other in small ones, slowly, slowly.

After drinking their fill, the one who drank in small sips asked his friend:

"Why do you drink water so quickly?"

"To get refreshed faster. Why do you drink such small sips?"

"To prolong the pleasure."

And they argued among themselves how best to drink water? The shepherd, hearing their dispute, reconciled the friends:

"Both methods are good," he said, "after all, the main thing is to quench your thirst, but how is a personal matter for everyone."

Many people think: there is my opinion, and all others are wrong. In fact, there are many opinions that are correct. After all, each person has his own perception.
