"A certain wealthy and powerful merchant left on a long business trip
while his children were yet young. During his absence, his children
began to dispute with one another about the nature of their Father's
business and what kind of person he was. These disputations escalated
into outrage and even violence, and deep hatreds developed.
"Then one day the merchant returned from his journeys, and his children
all ran to him and demanded to know which of them was right about the
nature of his business and what kind of person he was. He said to
them, some of you are pretty close in your beliefs, but I am much more
concerned with how you have treated one another during my absence than
with whose beliefs are the most accurate."
