There is an Ancient Hindu parable in which Lord Krishna tests the wisdom of 
his Kings.
Lord Krishna firstly calls forward King Duryodana, a man known for his 
cruelty and miserlines.
King Duryodana is set the task of travelling the whole world and finding one 
good person.
Following his search, he returns to Lord Krishna and says that he has failed 
as he could not find one good person. He explained that every man that he 
found was selfish and wicked.
Lord Krishna then asked another one of his Kings, Dhammaraja, a similar 
question.
Dhammaraja was a man known for his benevolence and his love for people. Lord 
Krishna set him the task of finding one bad person.
After travelling the world, Dhammaraja returned to Lord Krishna and said 
that he too had failed. He found many people who were good and some who were 
misguided and confused. However, as to finding a truly bad person, 
Dhammaraja did not find one.
ANALYSIS

The Search
The Biblic story of King Midas is one that we are all familiar with. 
Everything that King Midas touched turned to Gold. In this parable, we see 
two similar kings. The first king is wicked and cruel. This is his nature 
and everything that he sees is selfish and bad. The second king is kind and 
loving. This is his nature. Everything he sees is good and has value. 
Although two people can have the same experience, they may not view both 
events as similar. To one, it may have been good and to the other, it may 
have been bad. There is great power in understanding that nothing has any 
meaning except for the meaning that you choose to give it.
