About This Quote

This quote is a great example of how we often see difference in people and events, and how we fail to see the similarities. In the story of Anansi and the spider, the spider finds itself in a situation where it needs to work with other creatures in order to survive. It finds an innocent creature who it can trick into killing all the other creatures in the corral. This is a great example of how we look at one another through eyes that highlight differences, forgetting that we are all one and the same.
