With all this talk of the bible containing wisdom-filled parables, it made me start thinking about Aesop's Fables, and which book has more useful parabolic wisdom to offer.
Personally, I've found a clear, useful, identifiable lesson in nearly each of Aesop's several dozen fables. In comparison, the bible's lessons seem abstruse and less applicable to daily life and the human condition.
What does everyone else think? Which book's parables contain more wisdom?
