Little Claus and Big Claus
 |
| Welcome to hilarious teachings. |
"Certain unresolved pressures can drive men and women into convents and kriya contemplation as a second best solution, or maybe some third best one. Thus, maybe established values of some world-forsaking clans need reassessment, for example in the light of a few daredevil questions like:
"Who's winning, and who goes for unfair advantage? There are some new tones to the old folk tale about Little Claus and Big Claus below."

Comments on "Little Claus and Big Claus"
The Danish poet Hans Christian Andersen (1835) often used figures, themes and segments from older tales to make a point. The folk tale that is commented on below, can be found here: LINK
Comments
You can consider these points.Old stories may contain recent lessons for nearly all of us, if we only care to listen
TODAY'S LITTLE CLAUS seems different from the
age-old, local and innate one.The Bedouin waits a hundred years for revenge (if needs be), says an Arab proverb. Small persons may need a long time's planning and preparations for it too.
Folklore often contains understanding that's tucked into entertainment. This revenge-filled sort of tale is on top of the one by the Danish poet Anderson, and he in turn got much content from folk tales, including the Grimm tales. The Danish poet Hans Christian Anderson at times modulated and expanded existing folk tales, and his "Claus tale" is one of those.
The scoundrel succeeds by fooling a bully neighbour. The attempt at justification seems to be "To deceive a deceiver is no deceit." [Dp 55] - if "The effect speaks, the tongue needs not." [Dp 55]. So even if small, Little Claus is no little fool - [Cf. Dp].
Some people plunder and abuse the liberty of others

Risk little all along is the message |
The taming route that is not truthful, very fair and considerate, can make oddly influenced ones gravely deranged.
The tale is about how to set yourself up.
The enraged party is often found to have been taken in.
To make it better on your own, let no Little Claus grow rich by hook and crook.
Who is getting the upper hand, and by what strides?
