ALL TOO COMMON CANARDS
ALL TOO COMMON CANARDS
Conflicting canards confuse men, don't they? Canards are untruths, fables, fairytales, are cultural lies.
"You can lead a horse to water , but you can't make him drink " is a common canard. But horses don't need to be led to potable water.
In fact, they lead men to potable water in the deserts. If a horse doesn't drink that water , man can know that something is wrong with that water, and pass on its being potable or fit to drink by either one!
As with the "horse and the water" canard, many more serve in cultural roles to confuse mankind. They appear to be true. They are often claimed to be true, but are not!
They are but like the horse to water canard . We are the ones misled!
