Aesop's fable: The Tortoise and the Birds

[Guest guest]

Why Aspies stop associating with people who have rebuffed them socially.

The Tortoise and the Birds

A Tortoise desired to change its place of residence, so he asked an

Eagle to carry him to his new home, promising her a rich reward for her

trouble. The Eagle agreed and seizing the Tortoise by the shell with

her talons soared aloft. On their way they met a Crow, who said to the

Eagle: " Tortoise is good eating. " " The shell is too hard, " said the

Eagle in reply. " The rocks will soon crack the shell, " was the Crow's

answer; and the Eagle, taking the hint, let fall the Tortoise on a

sharp rock, and the two birds made a hearty meal of the Tortoise.

Never soar aloft on an enemy's pinions.

Why does anyone swallow any number of psychology theories that say, go

on just passively taking rebuffs?

It's safer to accept rebuffs than challenge them, I suppose.

But I think if everyine alienated offending people, people's behaviors

would change for the positive.
