Aesop's fables range from true wisdom, to merely social observations. In my experience manipulative people have a tendency to try hard to confuse issues, and the only way to expose them, is by using fables, at least that is what ancient peoples did. I watched a Japanese movie once, where this Daimyo (Samurai lord) did not understand he was being controlled by his mistress. His loyal vassal, to illustrate the point, uses the fable of a "clever fox." "What a clever fox" the vassal says "it plots, plans and manipulates, yet pretends to be made of stone." The poor vassal gets execution for doing his job, and the ever dense Daimyo does not realize until it is too late, the meaning of the fable. I pointed out before, and I continue to point out, perhaps this is the reason ashkenazi Jews suffered persecution; a very nasty habit of associating with the powerful just to survive. Should have been more like Hobbits "don't go looking for trouble, and no trouble will come to you." I've observed that ashkenazi Jewish communities who kept the quietest, and largely to themselves, where the ones who seemed to have the higher rates of survival.

Too bad not many ashkenazi Jews read this fable, still I am typing all this to try to help, not to be prejudiced.
