Another excerpt from Aesop's fables...enjoy..!!

Counsel Without Help is Useless

A boy bathing in a river was in danger of being drowned. He called out to a passing traveler for help, but instead of holding out a helping hand, the man stood by unconcernedly, and scolded the boy for his imprudence.


"Oh, sir!" cried the youth, "pray help me now and scold me afterwards."

Counsel without help is useless.

Nothing works without proper follow through!

Hey Mike,
Agreed, but this situation is off to a very bad start. Follow through unlikely.

Scary but so true.

Hey Alexander,
Yes, scary but true. Got me thinking of my own treatment of others, in a not so blatant way. But even so...unacceptable.
