What does 'until the lion tells his story' mean?

It means that we often only hear one version of a story, usually the dominant or more common one. Until the lion, which could represent a less - heard or oppressed side, tells its story, we don't have the full picture. For example, in history, the colonizers' version of events was often told, but we rarely heard the stories of the colonized until they started to speak up.

It could mean that until the one with power or the main actor (the lion in this metaphor) shares their perspective, the real or full story isn't known. For example, in a situation where there are different accounts of an event, the most important or dominant party's view is yet to be heard.

It's important because it promotes fairness. Without hearing all sides, we might be unfair to the 'lion' or the side that has not been given a chance to speak. For instance, in a workplace dispute, if only the boss's side is considered, the employees might be wrongly blamed.

Well, 'until the lion writes his own story' means that for a long time, the narrative has been controlled by others. Just like in history, the powerful often write the stories. But when the lion, who represents those who have been overlooked or misrepresented, writes its own story, it will show a different perspective. For example, in colonial history, the colonizers wrote the stories of the colonized, but when the colonized people start to write their own stories, we see the real struggles, cultures, and values that were previously hidden. It's about giving a voice to the voiceless and showing the truth from their own eyes.

Sure. In a workplace, there might be a project that fails. The management blames the employees. But until the employees (the lions in this case) tell their side of the story - like how they were given unclear instructions, overworked, or lacked proper resources - we don't know the real reasons for the failure.

The statement 'only until the lion can tell the story' might be a metaphorical way of saying that there is a certain truth or set of facts that are currently hidden or not fully understood because we lack the lion's point of view. It could be about the power dynamics in the animal world. The lion, as a powerful predator, may have insights into how different species coexist and interact in ways that are not obvious to us. Maybe it has a story about how it has adapted to changes in its environment over time, which could be very valuable for us to know in terms of conservation and understanding nature better.

Sure. In a company, there might be rumors about a big decision. But until the CEO (the lion) makes an official announcement (tells the story), no one really knows the truth.

It could mean that the resume presents a version of events or achievements that doesn't match the reality. Maybe he has exaggerated his skills or experiences on the resume.

I'm not entirely sure without more context. It could be a story where a judge is sharing some kind of tale about a man to his dog. Maybe it's a strange anecdote the judge has experienced in relation to a man and he's telling it to his pet as if the dog could understand.

It could imply that until the powerful or the silenced (represented by the lion) gain the ability to tell their own stories, the true version of events may not be fully known. Just like in many situations, the dominant voices often shape the stories, but when the less - heard (the lion) can write every story, things will be different.
