The story of Kong Jue and his student

3,000 years ago there was a savant called Kong Jue. One day a war happened, this Kong Jue got stuck in a forest. One morning his student got up to cook rice. Usually, after rice was cooked, he would make a meal for his master.

One morning while he was cooking rice, the master was looking at him distantly, seeing the student putting rice on a plate and eating some rice before he served the meal. The master thought why the student ate the rice before him. He thought that “Doesn’t he respect me anymore, eating before me?”

When the student went to him, he said “Hey, you ate before I did. Do you not respect me anymore?” The student put one’s palm together to salutation and said “Master, the reason I tried the food is not because I don’t respect you. But now we are in the middle of a war. I worried about your safety. So I tried the food to see if there was poison in it. I didn’t do it because I didn’t respect you but it was because I did respect so I was to give up my life.”

The student tried the food first because he respected the master very much.

This story teaches that: The student did something for his master but the master didn’t think so. So we should never believe what we see immediately, the important thing might not always be seen.

This concludes that: “No knowledge without study.”

The news nowadays we have to compare all the news sources altogether and then believe the news. Don’t believe it just one source. Because what we see is not always true. But it might be something else.
