An elephant told an ant
“You ride on my back all day
Even I want to feel what it’s like
On someone’s back to lay.”
The ant told the elephant
“You stomp on my kind all day
Even I would like to stomp and crush
All others in my way.”

This is the paradox of life… There are so much stomping from the strong such that the weak want to fight back.
Shakespeare once said, “Oh, it is excellent to have a giant’s strength, but it is tyrannous to use it as a giant.”

Ah, that’s an excellent quote and quite true. I had never heard it before. Thank you!

Saw it being used as the theme quote in the movie, Tyrant and it stuck.
So also reposted this on my blog.

I relate to the ant. However, I don’t know if I ever want to experience the life of an elephant. I think if enough ants get together, the possibilities of ending the stomping and crushing would be a dream come true and ants all over the world could be happily-ever-after.😉

I agree with you. I am sure the elephants will flee at the sight of an army of stinging ants 😁
