“Never laugh at live dragons”
— J.R.R. Tolkien
Copied to clipboard
Simplified Meaning:
When someone says 'never laugh at live dragons,' they mean you shouldn't make fun of things or people that are powerful or dangerous. Imagine teasing a growling dog—if you mock it, you might get bitten. Similarly, if you joke about someone who has a lot of influence or strength, it could come back to harm you. In history, for example, people who underestimated strong leaders often faced serious consequences. This advice is about respecting those who are stronger or have more power than you, and being careful not to provoke them. So in everyday life, think twice before making fun of your boss, a powerful figure, or anyone who seems dangerous, because it could lead to trouble.
