A warrior knows that an angel and a devil are both competing for his sword hand.
The devil says: ‘You will weaken. You will not know exactly when. You are afraid.’ The angel says: ‘You will weaken. You will not know exactly when. You are afraid.’
The warrior is surprised. Both angel and devil have said the same thing.
Then the devil goes on: ‘Let me help you.’ And the angel says: ‘I will help you.’
At the moment, the warrior understands the difference. The words may be the same, but these two allies are completely different.
And he chooses the angel’s hand.
