The Parable of The Unwary Genius

There once lived a genius who had much ideas. Let us call him Kristos. Kristos believed it was his mission to make those ideas available. And he believed everyone else should do as he was doing so that "we can all get better at living life".

Unfortunately, Kristos' countrymen had a different belief from him which, in fact, was what stood him out among them. But, how did his countrymen have a different belief from him about the same matter?

Like Kristos, they also believed ideas should be shared among us. But unlike Kristos who believed ideas should be shared to help us all get better at living life, his country men believed ideas are shared to show how much one knows more than other people.

So, because Kristos believed sharing ideas was a fundamental human mission, he tried to do it with great fervor. But because his countrymen thought ideas are shared to prove one's superiority over others, rumors spread like wildfire that Kristos was the most arrogant braggart in town. And everyone took him that way.

DIDN'T ZIAD ABDELNOUR SAY THAT RUMORS ARE CARRIED BY HATERS, SPREAD BY FOOLS, AND ACCEPTED BY IDIOTS? 

But, although a genius he was, Kristos himself did not realize this. He only was surprised that whenever he offered his ideas in good faith, he was massively attacked everywhere in town. "Do they hate good things?" Kristos often wondered to himself. "Why are they only out to pick fight with me when I'm only out to help solve their own problems?"

Then, one day, he read where it was written, "Do not give what is holy to dogs and do not throw your jewelry to pigs, or they will trample it underfoot and turn around to attack you" (Mathew 7:6). Would you blame the dogs and pigs for not knowing the value of jewelry and for mistaking a gift of it for an attack that must be returned?

"No" said Kristos, "it's not quite fair to blame them. Instead, we may have to blame the human who fails to recognize that dogs and pigs wouldn't appreciate the value of jewelry. In like manner, I should have known that my country men are below my thinking level and so, instead of valuing it, will attack it".

So, he stopped trying to talk to open deaf ears of his countrymen. Instead, he used his ideas to improve on himself to a point that his countrymen had no choice but to beg him to be their king in order to benefit from the obvious fruits of his wisdom..
