The Innocent Devil

Centuries ago, an old man met the devil. The old man asked the devil, "You look like an ordinary creature, but how do you fight hundreds of thousands of people while sitting?" The devil smiled, he showed his finger to the old man.  And he said softly, "I don't fight people, this finger of mine fights." The old man asked, "How is that?" The devil said, "Walk with me to the bazaar."  He took them to a confectionery shop. He made the old man stand on one side. He dipped his finger in the confectioner's frying pan and put his finger on the wall in front of it. It became like a spot of syrup on the wall.  In a few moments, flies gathered on the spot of the sherry. A lizard was sitting on the other corner of the wall. When the lizard saw the flies, it crawled towards them. There was a cat under the confectionery stool.  And he jumped on the lizard.  Meanwhile, a minister's servant was passing by the bazaar with a dog. When the dog saw the cat, he untied the rope and attacked the cat. The cat ran inside the shop but the dog climbed on the sweets and spoiled all the sweets.  The confectioner got angry, he slammed the frying pan on the dog's head, the dog screamed and fell in the bazaar and died, the minister's servant came running, grabbed the confectioner by the collar and took him out of the bazaar.  The confectioner's servants heard the noise and came out and started beating the minister's servant.  The news of this fight reached the minister's office, the minister ran his soldiers towards the bazaar, the soldiers reached the confectionery shop and they started beating the confectioners' servants.  Started killing the soldiers.  In short, the fighting spread throughout the city in a matter of seconds and dozens of people were injured on sight.  The elders stood with the devil and watched the whole spectacle in amazement. The devil finally looked at him and smiled and said, "Why did you feel like that, sir?" The elder asked, "Was this all your finger play?"  The devil laughed and said, "No, it was all a game of anger, hypocrisy, jealousy, revenge." The elder asked, "What do you mean?"  Satan said, "Allah has placed in man the spirit of anger, vengeance, jealousy. When these passions increase in a person, a class, a city or a nation, one finger of my finger is enough to destroy this whole nation, this whole city."  The elders listened in silence, the devil said, "These are my emotions in the world, my house." And the person who has these emotions in me, I never come out of it. "The elders listened, the devil said, but the nation and  Let man control his anger and his revenge, I will be away from this person and this nation forever.
