John, Pete, and the Elephant (Difference between Man and Elephant)
[By my father. Almost certainly written before I was born.]
John sees Pete as being different from himself
and considering himself good and right considers
Pete evil and wrong and further considers
killing him, both as a self-defense measure and
to rid the world of evil and wrong.
Pete sees John as being different from himself
and considering himself good and right considers
John evil and wrong and further considers
killing him, both as a self-defense measure and
to rid the world of evil and wrong.
The elephant sees both John and Pete as being
two of a same thing which is different from
itself and considering them as neither food nor
things which consider it as food goes to the stream
seeking comfort from a hot sun.
