Today I want to present you a very short parable. It shows in an extremely accurate way why things in our wonderful country are still far from ideal.
Here is the parable itself:
A poor man asked the Buddha:
„Why am I so poor?“
The Buddha answered him:
„You haven't learned to give.
Then the poor man said, „But what if I have nothing?“
The Buddha replied: "You have several things:
A face that can give a smile;
– Lips with which you can thank or comfort others;
– A heart to open to people;
– Eyes with which to see through the prism of kindness;
– A body to use to help.“.
So, actually, you are not poor.
Poverty of spirit is true poverty.
The good news is that while there are people who
- They don't spare their smiles
- They thank you for every gesture
-They use their bodies to help and
- They are open-hearted
There is hope.
I believe that more and more truly rich spirited people, handing out handfuls of beauty, harmony, peace and happiness will surround us! I believe!
