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.
