to me, illustrates this point admirably.
A Greek artist painted the picture of a man having a
cluster of grapes in his hand. It looked so real that it was
mistaken for the actual. The picture was recognized as
a masterpiece of art. As the legend goes, the picture was
once exhibited at a public gathering on the streets of

Greek philosopher, Diogenes, who witnessed all this, re-

the bird would not have dared to pluck the grapes had it

The same can be said of man in his present state. The
