The Parables of Geno are a collection of short moral stories that explain a few of the beliefs and philosophies of the Geno's faith, the Path.

Parable of Purity

Whilst walking along the grey streets, whilst taking in the beautiful of the grey architecture, the grey decora, and the grey sky; several Geno held a conversation. Suddenly, as in response to their conversation, the sky turned a dark grey, and the heavens opened, releasing the grey water droplets onto the face of the grey streets. The Geno looked upward and smiled; whilst they were to be wettened by the rain, the rain was grey, and was a blessing to the Geno.

And lo, as suddenly as it started, the rain stopped. And the Geno were left in confusion, as the beautiful grey of the clouds broke and gave way to shades of yellow sun and blue sky. And in the sky, did a rainbow appear. The younger Geno, upon seeing this, were scared. They had learned all their life that color was evil, as it was mere fractures of the perfect shade of grey.

An elder Geno spoke onto the masses: "Behold Geno, all the colors of the spectrum, all the colors which make up grey."

A young Geno asked the elder "Why must there be color?"

The elder said back onto the young one "For the world to exist in pure grey, Geno must be able to see impure colors. If the Geno can't see the impurity, then how shall We know the purity?"

The young Geno's eyes widened, a magnificent shade of grey, and he spoke "I understand!"

Parable of White

A young Geno, having not yet realized the Unity of Geno, said unto an elder, "Where is the distortion in White? Is not White pure? Does not White, and its empathy, lie upon the Path?"

The elder looked upon the young Geno, and he was heard to say, "Tell me then, young one, where does empathy lie upon the Path?"

To which the young Geno responded, "It surely must lie upon the Path to help one another."

The elder then said unto the young one, "And who wouldst thou choose to help? How can Unity be achieved, when these Virtues of which you speak force division? For in choosing, you emphasize the Individual, and thus negate Unity, the Way of the Path."

And the young Geno's eyes were opened, and he rejoined the Path.

Parable of Color

And lo, whilst gathered in a lobby, an unbeliever did come onto the crowd of the Followers of the Path. And the unbeliever spoke onto the unity which was Geno the following words: "Why are you all grey! Genos suck!!"

A Geno spoke onto the follower of color. "Unbelieving one, why do you follow the color? Do you not realize the unity and perfection that is the grey? Do you not know of the warmth and bliss those who follow the Path feel? You attempt to make Us look as the fools, yet it is only you who appear foolish to your color-following brethren."

And the follower of color spoke thusly: "I WILL KILL YOU!"

The Geno presented the wisdom of the Path to the unbeliever. And amidst threats of death did the unbeliever suddenly experience a vision. It was at this moment didst the foolish unbeliever see the follow of his color-following. He returned to the lobby, and pledged to follow the Path until the end of time.

And thus was his head shaved and his body adorned with the perfect grey, and his name made into Geno.
