Blind Men and the Elephant (a.k.a., "Blindmen")
(by John Godfrey Saxe)

American poet John Godfrey Saxe (1816-1887) based this poem, "The Blind Men and the Elephant", on a fable that was told in India many years ago. It is a good warning about how our sensory perceptions can lead to misinterpretations.

http://www.wordinfo.info/words/images/blindmen-elephant.gif

It was six men of Indostan
To learning much inclined,

Who went to see the Elephant
(Though all of them were blind),

That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind

The First approached the Elephant,
And happening to fall

Against his broad and sturdy side,
At once began to bawl:

“God bless me! but the Elephant
Is very like a wall!”




The Second, feeling of the tusk,
Cried, “Ho! what have we here

So very round and smooth and sharp?
To me ’tis mighty clear

This wonder of an Elephant
Is very like a spear!”




The Third approached the animal,
And happening to take

The squirming trunk within his hands,
Thus boldly up and spake:

“I see,” quoth he, “the Elephant
Is very like a snake!”




The Fourth reached out an eager hand,
And felt about the knee.

“What most this wondrous beast is like
Is mighty plain,” quoth he;

“ ‘Tis clear enough the Elephant
Is very like a tree!”




The Fifth, who chanced to touch the ear,
Said: “E’en the blindest man

Can tell what this resembles most;
Deny the fact who can

This marvel of an Elephant
Is very like a fan!”




The Sixth no sooner had begun
About the beast to grope,

Than, seizing on the swinging tail
That fell within his scope,

“I see,” quoth he, “the Elephant
Is very like a rope!”




And so these men of Indostan
Disputed loud and long,

Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,

Though each was partly in the right,
And all were in the wrong!

http://www.wordinfo.info/words/images/elephant-blind-compo.gif


Moral:

So oft in theologic wars,
The disputants, I ween,

Rail on in utter ignorance
Of what each other mean,

And prate about an Elephant
Not one of them has seen!

You may disagree with a whole lot of things those men stand for, but if you don't think there is some serious intellect represented on that page, you either just don't know them, or else your prejudice has your perception distorted.

I can recognize the brilliance of men I vehemently disagree with.

In your opinion, is it possible for brilliant men to be deceived? I already know your answer.

I sometime think that brilliance is a portend, a presage to deception. There is a great temptation of men of brilliance to lean to their own understanding feeling self-suficient with that brilliance. But don't you just love to lean back over dinner, without interruption and have a great conversation with men of thier ilk, probing their thoughts? I'm looking forward to having dinner with one of such a caliber Monday.

Important distinction is noted.

I've seen some brilliant men who were filled with facts and figures but had no wisdom. I've seen men with great wisdom but little accumulated knowledge. Wisdom is a gift of God being spiritual while knowledge is a natural attribute gained by natural pursuits of it.

I am reminded of the wisdom as a gift that was bestowed upon Solomon who asked not for wealth but for wisdom. God was pleased and gave him both.

Nobody disrespected them. They called them magnificent and set their pictures on strong horses, so what? I don't call that "touching" the anointed. I would bet it is someone from the WPF that created this pic to defend the men.

"...keep the spirit of unity..." What unity?!?!? ROFL
