Why Some Souls Are White and Others Black
It was in the beginning, and four men were
walking through the woods and came upon two rivers. One river was of water,
clear as crystal and of great clarity; the other was murky, frightful, and horrifying
to the taste.
The four men were puzzled as to which river they
should cross; for, whereas the dirty river seemed very difficult to pass, the
clear river was easier to cross.
The men, after some discussion, thought that
they should cross the black river, and two of them at once crossed it.
The other two, however, barely touched the black water
and returned to the edge of the woods.
The two men that had crossed the river
called to their two companions urging them to cross, but in vain. They had
already determined to leave their companions and to cross the clear white river.
However, after they crossed, they were surprised
to find that they had become black; the two who had crossed the black river,
however, were a white color.
The two parties now traveled in different
directions and this is why some souls are white and some black.
