  How to Win - a Parable

Once upon a time, a man got stung by a wasp. It made him very angry and he found the wasp nest and beat it to the ground; some wasps stung him but most escaped as he burned the nest. But he was still angry and spying another much larger wasp nest in the next field, he gathered together friends and went there and began beating that wasp nest too. But there were many more wasps and with no regard to their own lives they ferociously attacked and stung. Someone said "just leave and the wasps will eventually settle down and everything will return to normal". But the man and his friends said no, and instead brought more and more men to beat on the wasp nests. Eventually the wasps did get tired of stinging and many left and went to the first field, where they joined the other wasps, who had come back, and together they rebuilt the nest better than before. But the man and his large group in the second field said "See, I know how to win a war!" The many of his group in the hospital with life-threatening painful stings, and the families of those who had died of the stings were not so sure.
