The baby X-Ray Tetra was surprised when she came to know that humans fight among themselves. Why should there be rift among members of the same species, she wondered. Unable to find an answer, she sailed to her mother.
"Mom. We never fight with other X-Ray Tetras. We are peace loving fish. Why do humans quarrel and indulge in wars all the time?"
Her mother smiled, and replied, "That's because humans are not as transparent as us. Their motives are hidden, and one never knows what's going on in the other's mind. Doubts get nurtured when truth is concealed."
