The Boiling Frog Syndrom.

By: Ahmed ELNAHAS – Montopoli, July 19th 2013.

The boiling frog story is a widespread anecdote describing a frog slowly being boiled alive. The premise is that if a frog is placed in boiling water, it will jump out, but if it is placed in cold water that is slowly heated, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death. Provided the heating is sufficiently gradual. The story is often used as a metaphor for the inability or unwillingness of people to react to significant changes that occur gradually.

The boiling frog story is generally told in a metaphorical context, with the upshot being that people should make themselves aware of gradual change lest they suffer eventual undesirable consequences.

And because all of us (Muslims, Christians, Jews, Laics, Liberals, Conservatives, Socialists, Communists, Intellectuals, Analphabets, Rich, Poor, Civilians, Militants or Militaries…etc)  are profoundly convinced of being absolutely right, and that we are standing in an undisputable side; I say: We are all that frog! For each of us allowed himself to live in the captivity inside one idea without even bothering to investigate the other’s.

Nevertheless, I have to underline that my opinion cannot be applied on the self-researched beliefs (political or spiritual).. So if you have decided by your own free will to be X or Y, then you’re casted out from the Frog pack.
