When I was a little kid growing up in the village, I witnessed something that left me utterly astounded.
.
People gathered in the village square, and at the center of it all was a man who seemed to be commanding the grass to talk.
.
As a child, I couldn’t fathom what I was seeing.
.
I watched in wonder as this man apparently held conversations with the grass.
.
Some even started donating money to him for this unbelievable feat.
.
My young eyes were fixed on the man, not the grass.
.
I observed his lips, his jaw, and his throat.
.
What struck me was that his lips remained still, but his throat moved ever so slightly.
.
In my childlike curiosity, I formed a conclusion and shared it with my mother: it was the man who was talking, not the grass.
.
It wasn’t until my university days that I would learn about ventriloquism, and suddenly, everything became clear.
.
This childhood memory holds a valuable lesson – the importance of asking questions.
.
It reminds us to look beyond the surface and think deeply.
.
Not everything we see and believe is as it appears; many things are mere tricks and illusions.
.
In a world filled with information and spectacle, it’s crucial to cultivate a healthy dose of skepticism.
.
Ask questions, investigate, and don’t swallow everything you see or hear hook, line, and sinker.
.
In doing so, we become not just spectators but critical thinkers, capable of discerning truth from illusion and wisdom from deception.
.
So, let’s keep our minds sharp and our curiosity alive, for inquisitiveness is a beacon that leads us to understanding in a world filled with talking grass and hidden realities. 🌾🤔
