The Dilemma Of Drugs - D Paul Graunke - 1976

D Paul Graunke

Once upon a time, so the old Indian parable goes, a king and his army passed by a city whose inhabitants were blind. He had a mighty elephant which he used in battle and to instill dread in any would-be opponents. A group of blind men wanted to learn what this elephant was. Since they did not know even the form or shape of an elephant, they groped sightlessly over the massive beast gathering information by touching some part of it. Each thought he knew what an elephant was, because he could feel a part. Afterwards they compared impressions. The man who had touched an ear said: "It is a large, rough thing, wide and broad, like a rug." Another who had felt the trunk said: "I have the real facts about it. It is like a straight and hollow pipe, awful and destructive." - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
