What a silly quote. “No other way” except all the other ones. Everyone watching the man and the cat will learn the same lesson. Everyone who hears the story will learn the same lesson.
I never held a cat by the tail, nor have i ever seen anyone foolish enough to attempt it, yet I am certain I know what happens next.
- currency 3y agoI think part of the point of the quote is that a man who would try to hold a cat by the tail is an example of someone who can ignore the experiences of other people. People FAFO when they should know better all the time.
