A fisherman was fishing in a river. He stretched his nets right across the current, then tied a stone to a rope and beat the water with it, so that the fish would flee and rush unwittingly into his nets. One of the people who lived nearby saw what he was doing and reproached him for muddying the river and preventing them from drinking clear water. But he replied, “Unless I stir up the river like this, I shall have to starve to death.” So too, demagogues in cities profit most when they plunge their homelands into civil strife.
