A Parable About Patience

There once was a man who worked for a large corporation.
The corporation was very powerful.
The man had worked there for a long time.
He was a good man.
He had ascended to a high position through hard work and a kind heart.
Although the company was not evil it was not good.
It had the potential to be good and the man did good wherever he could.
His boss was a bad man.
Corrupt, greedy, and cruel.
The boss would sabotage the man's work.
Force him to stay long hours.
Work on complicated projects with no chance of success.
The boss would berate the man at every opportunity.
Ridicule him, belittle him, revile him.
But the man persevered.
He did not let the aggression or loathing of his boss affect him.
He did not take it personally.
He did good work and made a difference.
Time passed.
One day the boss had a stroke and died.
The man became the new boss.
The corporation did great things.
