RE: Rima: A Community With a Human Touch.

in The Ink Well9 months ago

This story reminds one of the story about King Solomon and the two mothers who laid claim to a baby. Solomon decided that conflict wisely, and Ruskin came to an equally wise resolution between the two rival landowners. The land in dispute would be common land, and then no one could complain and the whole community would benefit. Land grabber Felix would have no incentive to grab land anymore.

This was a good application of the Resolution prompt, @alovely088.

Thank you for sharing this with us!

Thanks for your kind words. Yes, Ruskin, as a paramount ruler and also like King Solomon of the Bible, applied wisdom to the situation and with right counsel, was able to resolve the perennial conflict. This is what most of our present leaders lack.
