Recently I saw someone posted this story in Facebook:
QUOTE (paraphrase)
The donkey said to the tiger, 'The grass is blue.' The tiger said, 'No, the grass is green.'
Then the discussion heated up and to end this argument, both went to the lion, king of jungle.
The lion pronounced his judgement, 'Yes! The grass is blue.'
The donkey said, 'This tiger does not believe. He should be punished.'
The lion declared, 'Tiger will be jailed for a year.'
The tiger said to the lion, 'Why Your Highness! the grass is green, isn't it?'
The lion said, 'Yes! The grass is green.'
Then the tiger asked, 'Then why am I sentenced to jail?'
The lion said, 'You did not get punished for the grass being blue or green. You have been punished because it is not possible for a brave and intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with a donkey, and on top of that come and bother me with that question.'
UNQUOTE
Many people agree with the lion that they should not waste time arguing with donkeys, which imply that most people think that they are brave and intelligent and not donkeys.
