The Parable of Food

There once was a little fish that swam happily in the sea. One day the little fish met a bigger fish. And the Big Fish said to the Little Fish: I am bigger and stronger than you and so I shall eat you. And the Big Fish ate the Little Fish. And, thus, a little Window of Joy closed in the Universe.

There once was a little antelope who ran happily throughout the Savannah. One day the Little Antelope met A Big Lion and the Big Lion said to the Little Antelope: I am bigger and stronger than you and so I shall eat you. And the Big Lion ate the Little Antelope. And, thus, a little Window of Joy closed in the Universe.

One day while Mankind was sleeping A Giant Alien appeared in the sky and said to them: I am bigger and stronger Than All of You and so shall eat you. And Mankind shouted and begged: but we are special for we are intelligent and full of feeling. And the Giant Alien laughed at them and said: so are the fish, and the birds, and all living things. But I am Greater than them All: Yet, I shall not eat you but rather have come to teach you: Keep The Window Open

And on that day Mankind began to walk the Path of Joy which is the Sacredness of Life
