A Political
Parable
A
man married a good wife who did him much good in his time of greatest
need. They resided in a modest but
spacious abode, with room to accommodate the many children they expected. However,
the man fell for a whore decked out in fine jewelry and speaking alluring
words. As he was abandoning his good
wife, the man’s friend cried out, warning the man of his mistake and the
trouble it would lead him into. The man
ignored his friend’s plea, responding that the whore had promised to do him
much good like the good wife he was leaving.
The man and the whore moved into a great mansion. However, as time passed the man came to
realize that the whore’s earlier promises were hollow. She was spending his wealth, harming his
health, and letting outsiders come into his house and take his belongings. Though still impressive in size, the great
mansion was crumbling in its foundations.
Would
it not be the better part of wisdom for this man to realize the errors of his
ways and return to his good wife?
