The great philosopher

Akbar the Second, may he be praised by doe-eyed beauties and bearded theologians alike, may he be rewarded with many grapes in the perfumed gardens!

This is the typical internet rubbish you get:

A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them
fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit
was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The
two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit
with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop,
that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took
heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down
and died.

The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again,
the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He
jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the
other frogs said, "Did you not hear us?" The frog explained to
them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the
entire time.

There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging
word to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it
through the day.

A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes
to kill them.

Be careful of what you say. Speak life to those who cross your
path. The power of words... it is sometimes hard to understand
that an encouraging word can go such a long way. Anyone can speak
words that tend to rob another of the spirit to continue in
difficult times.

Special is the individual who will take the time to encourage another.

Now I get the above too, but I get brilliant Akbari insights as well:

First of all , who are you? Oh its you...the tax guy.

Secondly, the story (above) is not logical....you see when the second frog jumps out of the pit, and the rest ask him 'did you not hear us'? and he replies 'he is deaf'. If he is really deaf, then how the hell did he understand their question in the first place!!!!!

If the frogs have already fallen into a pit. then how could the first frog fall further in a pit. Did he fall into the pit of the pit? Or was he jumping on a ledge before he fell into the actual pit?

Please don't be discouraged to the answers to the above questions. My tongue should encourage you not discourage with the quest for truth. :P
