20. There goes a proverb A barking dog seldom bites. When a dog is powerless to bite it wants to show its ability by barking. It thinks that if it barks people will be scared but people are always more intelligent than dogs. Instead of being afraid people laugh at the barking of the powerless. In our society there are also many powerless persons, but they pretend to be powerful. By this pretension they want to serve their purpose. Such causes are not rare rather are many in number. We all should be careful of those powerlessly powerful persons.
