Five blind people and the elephant in the room.
Five blind men lived in a village and one day an elephant strolled in. The men had no idea what an elephant was, so they went to find out, but being blind they had to rely on their sense of touch.“Hey, the elephant is like a pillar,” said the first man who touched his leg.“No, it is like a rope,” said the second man who touched the tail.“It’s more like a thick branch of a tree,” said the third man who touched the trunk of the elephant.“Ridiculous, it’s like a big hand fan” said the fourth man who touched the ear of the elephant.“It is like a huge wall,” said the fifth man who touched the side of the elephant.Frustrated with their differences, they began to argue about the elephant and everyone of them insisted that he was right.The moral of the story? They were all only partially right. They were all convinced the others were wrong, because, being blind, they couldn’t see the other’s person point of view.….anyway, back to Brexit!
