El_Caz: By the way, in your avatar... I always thought that was jesus holding the telescope. Maybe it's the white long sleeved shirt which looks quite wide around the wrists.
Close enough.

ShaolinsKunk: I'm not familiar with the story you describe but if you don't find the answer here you could see if the folks at TVTropes could help you out. Don't worry, they cover all media not just TV.

Here's the "You Know That Show" section where you can ask these types of questions.

And if you haven't seen TVtropes before I would recommend exploring a bit, it's an awesome site detailing all the things that make stories what they are; and I do mean all the things.
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

How can you lure him into TVTropes so casually? That site is worse than crack! You keep going "Just one more link", and before you know it, it's 4:30 in the morning :-/

I agree, it's pretty heartless to send someone in the direction of TVTropes with not so much as a warning. D;

Telika: So, does this specific tale ring a bell to any of you ?
Reminds me of crab mentality.

I actually do not really get the moral of the story.
Posted January 25, 2013
The moral of Dostoievsky's story is that one good deed does not make a person good.

The implied moral in that story (one element to make it work) is what had been stressed in the way this story had been told to me (possibly the original, traditional "christian fable" version that I try to find), is that you've got to accept dragging other people out of their misery, even at the cost of your comfort, security, or pride of being the chosen one. It's a moral of solidarity, empathy, and collective responsability. Three values that are practically outlawed nowadays.
