The Silo of Grain
Strangely enough, I am going to compare "grain" to control. Try to see that we only need a portion of that grain in the silo as far as trying to control our lives. Instead, we hoard more and more grain attempting to control every aspect of our lives. We hoard so much the grain flows out of the top of the silo. We resent those who would scoop up the surplus on the ground. We even curse the birds that pluck the few morsels from the top.
Maybe one day we could be so secure as to actually give away some of the grain in the silo......voluntarily relinquishing control.
