Since he was an irrational being, he made a very winding path, constantly changing direction and alternating ups and downs. The next day, a dog running through those places used his trail to get through the woods. After that, the turn came to the ram, who led the flock, who, seeing that this path had already been passed by someone, led the sheep along it.<\/p>\n<p>Later, people began to use this path: they entered it, twisted left and right, descended, bypassed obstacles, rightly complaining and emitting discontent. But they did nothing to create something else. After such active use, the path became a wide road, on which the poor animals languished from excessive drafts, forced to cover in three hours a distance that could have been covered in thirty minutes if they had not followed the path laid by a young bull.<\/p>\n<p>Many years passed, and the path turned into the main street of the village, and then into the main avenue of the city. Everyone complained about his inconvenience, because the route was the most inconvenient of all possible options.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the old and wise forest laughed as people showed a tendency to blindly follow the already laid path, never questioning whether it was the best choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One day, a young bull had to go through a&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1000],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25601","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-art-therapy"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25601","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25601"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25601\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36235,"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25601\/revisions\/36235"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25601"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25601"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25601"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
