The analogy is simple.
The analogy is that of a house.
The downstairs of the house is a mess, a jungle.
The upstairs is where order prevails.
Those children upstairs call to those downstairs commanding them to all that is good.
Those children downstairs do not want to heed the call and curse them above.
Those upstairs tell them to read the rules that have been left, pinned to the fridge door but those downstairs just laugh and set them alight.
‘We will say what time we go to bed, we will play with matches if we so wish, we will have all our friends come over’ those downstairs will say.
Many battles are fought on the stairs.
Those downstairs want to run amuck upstairs as well and call on the neighbors’ children to help them but those upstairs are few but strong.
Some of the children downstairs get tired of living like this and climb the stairs wanting to be good.
They are welcomed with open arms by those upstairs.
Soon the time will come for the reward and punishment.
Sweets or beats
The choice is simple.
