Strength Or Gentleness

Wisdom was listening in one day (She had nothing else to do) As strength and gentleness were debating which was the greater of the two. "I am the greater one! " said strength. "I am a mountain." "I am a tree." "Nothing on this planet Is more powerful than me! " "Silly strength, you flatter yourself." said gentleness. "You're not as important as you think." "For gentle is the air we breathe and the water that we drink." "I believe", wisdom interrupted, "you're both looking at this wrong. For it often takes strength to be gentle and a gentleness to be strong." "You can debate who's greater until the end of time And no solution will you derive... For you're strongest when you act together... you need each other to survive."
