THE TRUTH

?ÄúOne day the gods were debating amongst themselves whether or not the Truth should be revealed to mankind. At length, they decided that man was indeed ready to receive the Truth. Now the Truth was in the form of a large crystal ball. The question arose as to who would be the one to deliver the Truth to mankind. The youngest of the gods, Xedu, was eager to prove himself to the elders and pleaded with them to allow him to carry the Truth down to man. After a brief discussion, the elders agreed to allow Xedu to carry the ball of Truth to earth. So, Xedu set out with the great ball of Truth and began his descent to earth. But in his zealousness, he tripped, dropping the great crystal ball, which crashed upon the earth into thousand of pieces. Thereafter, whenever anyone came along and found a jewel of this Truth, each one believed that he had found the whole Truth.?Äù

MORAL: Every religion deems it has the whole truth when it only has a piece of the truth!
