  The Art of Adaptation: Unveiling the Wisdom of The Bat and The Weasels “It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.” — Aesop In the world of fables, we often find animals acting out the deepest parts of our humanity. These creatures, symbols of instinct and survival, carry lessons older than time itself. The Bat and The Weasels , retold from the mind of Aesop and reimagined through the lens of Gye-Nyame Journey, isn’t just a tale for children—it’s a guide for those grown folks who still seek mastery. When the World Has You Cornered Here’s the setup: A bat falls to the ground and is caught by a weasel. The weasel hates birds. So the bat, slick with the tongue, says, “I’m not a bird—I’m a mouse.” The weasel lets him go. Later, the same bat falls again. This time, a different weasel catches him. But this weasel hates mice.

Who Really Pays the Most? Taxation, Wealth, and the Middle-Class Disappearing Act Great Day, Fam. Let’s talk about one of the most dangerous illusions being pushed in this system: who really pays the most in taxes? I was watching a video by Brother Gary from Gary Economics , and he sparked a thought that just kept spiraling into truth. We need to sit down and break down this mind game—the kind of psychological hustle that makes us defend the wealthy while struggling to pay our own bills. Rich vs. Wealthy: Know the Difference Let’s start here: Rich folks make a lot of money. They may be bringing in six to seven figures, but they’re still trading time for money . Their lifestyle depends on continued effort. No work, no check. Wealthy folks live off their assets. They don’t have to work because their money makes more money—for generations.
