Would you agree with this bunny? (see the details)

Asked by Sneki95 (7017points) November 10th, 2016

So I was watching a kid cartoon thins morn’, and there were four animals: a rabbit, a mouse, a cat and an owl. They decided to race to the lake. The rabbit came the last. The last one was called a rotten egg.

“Yay, yay, I’m the last! Wohoo! I’m the rotten egg!” said the rabbit, all happy.
“But that is a bad thing, Rabbit” said the mouse.

“It’s a good thing if you truly believe it’s a good thing, and it’s bad only if you think it’s bad” replied the happy hare.

Would you agree with this bunny?

Or was the rabbit pulling that our if his ass?

P.S. I wonder how is a rabbit slower than a mouse, a cat and an owl as well.

Self delusion to make oneself feel better in the face of personal failure.

The owl & the cat were probably chasing the mouse & failed to eat dinner because the mouse later spoke to the rabbit, that leaves the bunny as the only critter who came out of this without any stress or feeling of failure.
Wow, but i’m good

@ragingloli Eh, I guess you’re right in this context.

@ucme I guess you could put it like that as well heh

The message is simply another version of ‘sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me’. Name calling is a form of bullying and the cartoon is attempting to model bad names into something “good” as a coping mechanism for the kiddies to use in their lives. They chose the rabbit to be the rotten egg because the rabbit is cute, furry, soft and cuddly…the furthest thing from a rotten egg.

@Sneki95 Depending on if you’re a negative fucker or glass half full type, I mean, it’s just a kids cartoon…but still.

. . . for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.

@Cruiser Well said, thanks.

I don’t thinks it’s a problem to admit that you are in last place. Besides, when I was growing up, I was the rotten egg. I also think that it signifies sportsmanship as well; by teaching kids that it’s okay to come in last, without being butt-hurt over it. I would rather be called a rotten egg than have a rotten egg thrown on me
