Re: Lûbimye pritči

It is very important that each person has a SELF-ASSESSMENT at the proper level, neither going off scale either up or down ....

I completely agree, Nikolay!

Okay. Since we’ve talked about parables, I’ll publish one I like too.

The Parable of Logical Thinking

At the beginning of the 20th century, a young Jew turned to the famous New York rabbi and said that he wanted to study the Talmud.
(P.A. Talmud (Hebrew תַּלְמוּד, “teaching, learning”) is a multi-volume code of legal and religious-ethical provisions of Judaism, (the Babylonian Talmud is also known as the Gemara), which is a heated discussion around the Mishna.) Details here: [DLMURL] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A2%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%BC%D1%83%D0%B4 [/ DLMURL]
“Do you speak Aramaic?” Asked the rabbi.
- Not.
- Maybe you know Hebrew?
- Not.
- Did you teach Torah in childhood?
- No, Rebbe. But you do not worry. I graduated from the faculty of philosophy of Berkeley and most recently defended a dissertation on logic in the philosophy of Socrates. And now, in order to make up for some of the blank spots in my knowledge, I want to study the Talmud a little.
“In my opinion, you are not ready to teach the Talmud,” said the rabbi. - This is the deepest book of all written by people. But since you insist so, I suggest you take a little test of logical thinking. If you can handle it, then I will deal with you.
The young man agreed, and the rabbi asked him a question.
- Two people go down the chimney. One got out with a clean face, the other with a dirty face. Which of them will go to wash?
The young philosopher's eyes widened in surprise.
“Is this your logic test ?!”
The rabbi nodded.
- Well, of course, the one with a dirty face!
- Wrong answer. Think logically: after all, one who has a dirty face will look at the one who has a clean face and decides that his face is also clean. And the one who has a clean face will look at the one who has a dirty face and decides that he himself is also dirty, and goes to wash himself.
- Interestingly invented! - admired the young Jew. “And tell me, Rebbe, another logical task!”
“Good, young man.” Two people go down the chimney. One gets out with a clean face, the other with a dirty one. Which of them will go to wash?
“But we have already figured it out; the one who has a clean face will wash his face!”
- This is not entirely true. They both go to wash. Think logically: the one with a clean face will look at the one who has a dirty face and decide that his face is also dirty. And the one whose face is dirty, having seen that the partner has gone to wash, will understand that he has a dirty face, and will also accordingly go to wash.
- I didn’t even think about it! Amazing - I made such a silly logical mistake! Rebbe, let's have one more question!
- Okay. Two people go down the chimney. One gets out with a clean face, the other with a dirty one. Which of them will go to wash?
“Well ... probably both will wash their face.”
“Again wrong.” None of them will wash themselves. Think logically: the one who has a dirty face will look at the one who has a clean face and will not go to wash. And the one with a clean face will see that the one with a dirty face does not go to wash. So he will understand that his face is clean, and also will not go to wash.
The young man was desperate for such an answer.
- Believe me, I can teach the Talmud! Ask me something else!
- Okay. Two people go down the chimney ...

- Oh Lord, give me strength! None of them will go to wash !!!

- Wrong. I hope you are now convinced that knowledge of the logic of Socrates is not enough to study the Talmud? Tell me, how can it happen that two people go down the same dirty pipe, while one of them gets his face dirty and the other doesn't ?! Do not you understand? That the question itself is nonsense. If you spend your life answering meaningless questions, then all your answers will also be meaningless!

Re: Lûbimye pritči

Envy and lemons
Once my wife sent me here to the store for lemons. Well, the flu, you see. And she said - buy large ones, but not rotten ones, as usual. Well, I went to the tray with lemons, sorting through. All beautiful, rotten, pachyderms. I look out of the corner of my eye: on the right there is another tray, and in it another peasant picks lemons. And he has large, ripe, mouth-watering lemons. Well, I think now the man will leave - I will instantly pick lemons on the right. So, for the sake of sorting out the fruit, I glancing sideways at the peasant hand - I wait until he finally takes what he needs and rolls it off. And he, the cattle, everything is picked and picked. He waited five minutes - and he didn’t like it, and this, even though he had lemons, was like picking. Well, I could not stand it - I turn to him to say what I think about him, but on the right ... a mirror.

And so it happens ... Everywhere, it seems to be good where we are not ... But in fact, to evaluate how good it was today, you can only tomorrow ... (also a kind of parable) ....
