Guys... u decide....

THE KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR

Deep inside any man there is a hero or a knight in shining amor.More than anything he wants to succeed in serving and protecting the women he loves.When he feels trusted he is able to tap into this noble part of himself.He becomes more caring.When he doesnt feel trusted he loses some of his aliveness and energy and after a while he can stop caring.
Imagine a knight in shining amror travelling through the country side when he hears a damzel in distress.In an instant he becomes alive.Urging his horse to full gallop he dashes to her castle where she is trapped by a ferocious dragon. The noble knight unsheated his sword and slays the dragon.As a result he is lovingly recieved by the princess.
As the gates open he is welcomed and celebrated by the family of the princess and the townspeople. he is acknowledge as the hero and allowed to reside in the town.He and the princess fall in love.
A month later the noble knight goes on another trip.On his way back he hears his beloved princess screams again for help.Another dragon was attacking the castle.When he arrived he brandished his sword to slay the dragon.
before he swings, the princess cried out from the tower,"dont use your sword use this noose it works better".She throws him the noose and motions to him instructions on how to use it.He hesistantly follows her instructions.He pulls it around the dragons neck with her instructions and the dragon dies.Everyone rejoices.
at the celebration dinner the knight feels he hasnt done anything.Somehow, because he used her noose instead of his sword he doesnt feel quite worthy of the towns trust and admiration.After the event he becomes depressed and forgets to shine his armor.
A month later he goes on yet another trip.As he leaves with his sword, the princess reminds him to be careful and tells him to take the noose.On his way home, he sees yet another dragon attacking the castle.He rushes forward with his sword but hesitates, thinking maybe he should use the noose... in that moment the daragon brethed fire and burns his right arm.Dazed, he looks up and sees his princess waving from the castle window.
"use the poison the noose doesnt work" she yells
She throws him the poison, which he pours into the dragons mouth and the dragon dies.Everyone rejoices and celebrates ... but the knight felt ashamed...
He went on another trip after a month. As he leaves with his sword, the princess reminded him to be careful and to bring the noose and poison. He is annoyed by her suggestions but brings them just in case.
This time on his journey he hears another woman in distress.As he rushes to her call, his depression lifted and he feels confident and alive again.But as he draws his sword to slay the dragon he hesistated.What shoul i use?What would the princess say?
For a moment he was confused. Then, it hit him like a brick.He remembers how he had felt before he knew the princess,back in the days when he only carried a sword.With a burst of renewed confidence he throws off the noose and poison and charges the dragon with his trusted sword.He slays the dragon and the townspeople rejoice.
The knight in shining armor never returned to his princess.He stayed in this new village and lived happily ever after.he eventually gets married, but only after making sure his new partner knew nothing bout nooses and poisons.
Remebering that within every man is a knight in shining armor is a powerful metaphor.A man appreciates alot of caring and assistance, too much of it will lessen his confidence or turn him off.

so... guys? is it true ? u decide....
