A small story that explains all about monetization

From a very eminent Economist:

How we see the same situation from different perspectives...

*Exhibit A*

*_A Small Story_*

To hunt crocodiles, the pond was dried.
No crocodiles were found because they can live on land too.

But all the small fish died.

This is Demonetisation to some.

*Exhibit B*

*_The longer version of the small story_*

In another village the pond had really dirty water .. For years (about 60) despite having a huge pond poor farmers had to look upwards to the sky for water for their families ..the pond was never cleaned.

The crocodiles were never hunted and no one cared if the fishes died . The water remained murky and could never be used for drinking.

The entire village never grew to its potential. Then one day a man took upon himself the challange and decided  to clean the water.

Some people who used to sell grimy water to the villagers were not happy and they did every bit to make sure that the man would not succeed..

They threw back dirt in water.. They pulled out the dead fish and called it outcome of water cleaning act.. They blamed it on the guy who was cleaning the water..

While most saw what was happening they feigned ignorance & continued looking at the sky & the pond.

These guys now said that they could still see the crocodile in the water.. They said "hey.. The crocodiles are still there .. We can clearly see them. So whats changed? All bull shit...this demonetization..."

Now thats the moral of the story.. *This was never about hunting the crocodile..*

This was always about giving fresh water to the village and to make sure *the crocs are visible*.. So that if they need to be hunted they can be hunted with pin pointed accuracy.

This long story has everything to do with demonetization and as for the man who wanted to clean the water ..

He's now  planning other cleanups.....the pin pointed ones...

So.. in the end that's how one needs to look at it...have faith. You kept it for 60 years & got nothing. Keep it for remaining 2 years & at least start recognising the crocodiles. 👍🏼
