Did you know that if you put 100 black ants and 100 red ants in a jar, nothing will happen? But I you shake the jar hard, the ants start killing each other. The red ants consider the black ants their enemies. The true enemy is the one shaking the jar. The same thing happens in human society. So, before we attack each other, we should think about who is shaking the jar!

"United we stand, divided we fall."

- Aesop, from Aesop's Fables: The Four Oxen and the Lion





A Lion used to prowl about a field in which Four Oxen used to dwell. Many a time he tried to attack them; but whenever he came near they turned their tails to one another, so that whichever way he approached them he was met by the horns of one of them. At last, however, they fell a-quarrelling among themselves, and each went off to pasture alone in a separate corner of the field. Then the Lion attacked them one by one and soon made an end of all four (1 Peter 5:8).

United we stand, divided we fall.
