Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

Sleeping dogs, in my opinion, are the illusion our society like corruption, theft, illiteracy. We all must awaken the sleeping dog in order to guard our nation. A sleeping dog is of no help until he becomes aware of what's happening around him. In other words, we must literate people of our country and make them more aware of the happenings around the world. If the dog is awake then with his alertness and strength he will be able to do great good to society.

Hello Friends,

I agree with you all to some extent but in my view, we can't let sleeping dogs lie because this modern era is very competitive and to achieve something we all have to run in this race. In every field we know that teamwork leads to a better output so have you ever think that what if we let the sleeping dogs lie or leave the inactive person in the state they want to?

Simply we will get a wide variance between the expected output and the output we got.

So, it's better to motivate the sleeping dogs or the inactive person to actively take part in this race instead of relying on luck.

MAKE THE SLEEPING DOGS A CONTRIBUTOR, MOTIVATOR, AND ACTIVE.

Becoz in this democratic country every individual is equally responsible for the good and bad condition so small loopholes like inactiveness of individuals can make the country to suffer.

We all know that PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE. So, it's better to awaken those sleeping dogs than to lie.

From reading this thread, it seems that none of you are dog owners. My pet dog is very loving. However, when she is sleeping and I accidentally awaken her, I might end up losing a toe to her startled fangs. This is how the expression "let sleeping dogs lie" began. It does not refer to people who are lazy.

It refers to what might happen to one if one brings up a problematic subject that no one is particularly worried about at the moment or that has already been settled. By reawakening others to an old problem, one might get bitten on the proverbial toe. In other words, one may create more trouble for oneself by bringing up a sore subject then by letting it sleep peacefully as does the dog at my foot- until I accidentally bump that foot into her.

I am with the term let the sleeping dog lie. Because we will get nothing from old conflict. Let the old conflict go to hell and deal with new things and let the dog sleep.

Ex:- If we are going somewhere and there is a guard dog on our way and he is sleeping, 90% of us will not awake him because we know that he can cause some trouble to us.

"Let sleeping dogs lie" i.e. let the dispute between the two persons (sleeping dogs) be pacified, let them behave as if they forgot what happened (let them lie). This would be beneficial rather for both the parties.

As recalling the feud would lead to unnecessary stress/tension between them and the feud will not be ended up this way. So, I think one must let go the past matters in order to lead a happy, healthy life.

Hello everyone.

Let the sleeping dog lie says that if the situation is calm down then down let it catch the fire again. For example if I was late for the office and my boss was angry and if he says nothing then let the matter be closed.

I think all the disputes between two people if not growing and its at the stage of fading then one should not go and provoke it to make it fresh.
