It is a 1000+-year-old Chinese Story. I think it's worth sharing with you.

Once upon a time, there was a state. In the state, there was a spring called the Sping of Craziness. The citizens of the state all drank from the spring and they all went crazy. The king of the state is the only one who didn't drink from the spring. Instead, he had his servants dig a well. Therefore, the king was not crazy. Since all the citizens were crazy, they claim that the king, who was not crazy, was in craziness. Then they planned to seize the king to treat his craziness and they really did it. They applied all kinds of treatment to the king including acupuncture and moxibustion. Finally the king could not stand the pain so he decided to drank water from the Spring of Craziness and went crazy. Since all the people in the state were crazy, everyone was pleased.

What a nice story! This shows how humans do not want any one different from them to exist happily. I liked the way you have told it as well - simple yet profound.

Keep sharing.
