A Powerful Wizard, who wanted to destroy an entire Kingdom, placed a magic potion in the well from which all the inhabitants drank. Whoever drank the water, would go mad.

The following Morning, whole population drank the water from the well, and they all went mad, apart from the king and his family, who had a well set aside for them alone, and which the magician had not managed to poison. King was worried and tried to control the population by issuing a series of edicts governing security and public health. The policemen and inspectors, however, had also drunk the poisoned water and they thought the king's decisions were absurd and and resolved to take no notice of of them.

When inhabitants of the kingdom heard these decrees, they became convinced that the king had gone mad, and was giving nonsensical orders. They marched to the castle and asked for his abdiction.

In Despair, the king prepared to step down the throne, but queen stopped him, saying, " Let us go and drink from that well and then, we will be same as them.

They drank the water of madness, and immediately started talking nonsense. The subjects repented at once, now that the king was showing SUCH WISDOM! Why not allow him continue ruling the country?

People think they are normal because they've drunk from the same well. They think they are normal because they all do same things.

What about you? ...

PRIORITIES

so what then was the cost of sanity ? what is it that the queen decides to retain - the kingdom, or sanity. it goes to show how ones decisions may be influenced by ones 'needs'. having 'decided' what she needed, she could then 'act' towards achieving what she had decided to retain. god give us sanity to take wise decisions.
