The Hebrew Bible copied some of the proverbs that Aesop, a slave from Ethiopia, wrote down after collecting them for decades. They were spoken thousands of years ago and handed down orally to him. Papyrus scrolls were found in Egypt with these same peace-loving sayings preserved on them. These written words are dated long before the eighth century BCE. Today the world still quotes the wisdom in Aesop's familiar phrases.
Dear Ones,
If the nations of the world would read and abide by these profound morals, there would be peace on Earth. Here is one of these parables:
One day the wind said to the sun, see that man on the road below? "I bet I can make him remove his coat by blowing it off. Ah, said the sun. I can accomplish it quicker and with more ease. " With both agreeing on the deal, the wind blew and blew and blew but could not make the man take his coat off. The traveler just clutched it close to hint with more vigor. So the sun smiled and beamed brightly. Immediately the man took his coat off.
Politically, it's not bombs and terrorism that solves international problems. Instead, it is making friends of nations through diplomacy and serious negotiation. When countries are friends with one another, there are no enemies and no wars.
