"A parable is a form of teaching in which one thing is thrown beside another. Hence its radical idea is comparison."
A parable is a succinct, didactic story, in prose or verse, that illustrates one or more instructive lessons or principles. It differs from a fable in that fables employ animals, plants, inanimate objects, or forces of nature as characters, whereas parables have human characters. A parable is a type of metaphorical analogy.
"Bohrs sort of humor, use of parables and stories, tolerance, dependence on family, feelings of indebtedness, obligation, and guilt, and his sense of responsibility for science, community, and, ultimately, humankind in general, are common traits of the Jewish intellectual. So too is a well-fortified atheism. Bohr ended with no religious belief and a dislike of all religions that claimed to base their teachings on revelations."
Parable"Each parable makes one point per main character."
Parable"A parable is a form of communication, a dialogue between a narrator and listener"
Parable"The final authority for evaluating a parable is the parable itself."
Parable"The rhetorical power of the narratives is obviously lost by means of propositional paraphrase, as is a portion of their meaning."
Parable"A man once said: Why such reluctance? If you only followed the parables you yourselves would become parables and with that rid of all your daily cares. Another said: I bet that is also a parable. The first said: You have won. The second said: But unfortunately only in parable. The first said: No, in reality: in parable you have lost."
