RE: Rethinking David and Goliath: The falsehood History told

in #writing6 years ago (edited)

From my perspective, goliath did the very first mistake by underestimating his supposed enemy(david), his quick judgement and assumption led to his fall. He didnt really critically think about what gave david such temerity and courage despite his juvenile state. David from my view applied one of the laws of power " make your enemies feel comfortable at the top, and when the time is right you strike" the giant was too full of himself. David's courage and wisdom paid out. Nice write up bro....really had to read this post over and over to really digest it. Great masterpiece from a braniac.

Hey @gunneresq I support @cyprainj, underating people definitely is not good as you don't get to know what they are capable of, because you see just what you want to see and not the real person.
If Goliath had seen the fact that David was not just a little boy probably the story would have gone the other way.
Secondly if David had felt intimidated by the size of Goliath, the story would also have gone the other way.

Great post man, I love the detail.

Very true your observation. You got it spot on.
I appreciate the input. Thanks.

I guess this your comment will come as a moral lesson to the story of David and Goliath.

Many a time we discover that we fail at something not because we are not capable of overcoming it, but because we were to confident to pay it the needed attention.

That was the very bane of Goliath. You have really done a great input to this analysis. I appreciate every bit of it.

Thanks alot.
