Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

"Let the Sleeping dogs lie". Well who wants to invite difficult situations in his/hers life?If you don't then it's better not to interfere in things which escalates your problems. "Sleeping dog" is symbolic of the matters which are not causing you harm presently but it may if you try to open it i.e. awakening the dog from it's deep slumber.

This would simply hamper one's state of mind which would result in hampering of work, health etc, as a disturbed mind disturbs the whole system. One should be always focused in one's work and work hard to make that work perfect so that results are fruitful. We don't need to waste our precious time and energy in something which matters nothing to us at the moment. Just live in your present and work for the betterment of future.

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.

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.

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.

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, everyone.

This is Mohammed Jaweed.

In my view, the statement is correct because We all are sleeping and ignoring the truth of our society and culture one thing is that people always think that they are right but they are wrong.

What is happening in and around your surrounding.

Thank you all.

Hi everyone!

Here, the topic of discussion is "let sleeping dogs die" and I totally disagree with it. Sleeping dogs are the persons who are not aware of any situations surrounding them. Being a responsible human in this society, it's our duty to let them know what they are missing by doing so so that we can improvise our society. Sometimes, by waking them up, we may create some trouble in our lives, but as long as we are smart enough to tackle those, we should enjoy waking the sleeping companions and give a wave to activeness and progress.

Thanks!

Hi friends,

The phrase 'Let speeping dogs lie' means to leave something alone if it might cause the problem to ignore a problem because trying to deal with it could cause an even more difficult situation in one's life.

If one knows that he has done something wrong to other in the past who has now a close friend, then one should let that old memory cone forward which would cause a problem in their relationship i.e., one should let that sleeping dog lie forever. So, if you raise an issue that others have forgotten about, you may have to suffer the consequences.

Hi everyone.

I think the given statement is absolutely correct as everyone in the society are not actively involving with surroundings. As if there is any problem arise in one's life, then the others think in a way that" if I solve it what I will gain ". But for the last few years, it has been diverted to serve the people and gain the love. I hope this will continue further and make a society with love but not with selfishness.

If some or other had helped us when I along with my friends met an accident then the one who lost his life may be alive. So I hope at least respond to surroundings rather than sitting idle.

Hello Everyone!

I partially agree with this statement "Let Sleeping Dogs Lie" because of sometimes good things are waiting behind problems. Always, running from problems is not a way to success. So if you think that by taking some problems can be good in future, there is no wrong to awake sleepings dogs.
