The Tale of the Sun and the Wind: An Analogy

Once upon a time the Wind came to the Sun in a sulky and belligerent mood. 
'Why does everyone like you more?' asked the Wind, 'it doesn't seem fair. I am far better than you.' 
The Sun merely shone serenely and let the Wind continue (as was his habit):
'Let's have a contest,' said the Wind. 'I bet I can remove that man's coat from him quicker than you can.'
The Sun smiled in weary acceptance of the challenge.

The Wind huffed and puffed and pulled and pushed at the man's coat, but the garment didn't budge. The Wind blew a gale in the man's face yet the man simply pulled the coat tighter around him. 
When the wind had blown himself out, it was the Sun's turn to have a go.

The Sun gently beamed down rays of warmth on the man and it wasn't too long before he got too hot and took off his coat.

And so it is, my friends, with Social Media.
