THE MOMENT OF DAWN


I want to share with you the following story that I read in a Paulo Coelho´s book.
I think is a beatifull story and a very important reflexion.
During the World Economic Forum at Davos, the winner of the Nobel Prize for Peace, Shimon Peres, told the following story.
A Rabbi gathered together his students and asked them:
"How do we know the exact moment when night ends and day begins?"
"When it´s light enough to tell a sheep from a drog" said one boy.
Another student said: "No, when it´s light enough to tell an olive tree from a fig tree".
"No, that´s not a good definition either"
"Well, what´s the right answer?" asked the boys.
And the Rabbi said:
"When a stranger approaches, and we think he is our brother, and all conflicts disappear, that is the moment when night ends and day begins."

Please, go to settings and say NO to "word veryfication for comments". It'll make my work easier.

Good! There's a title here! and a nice metaphor!

If you spell-check your texts you'd avoid mistakes like: BEAUTIFUL

See other problems:

-I think IT is a BEAUTIFUL story

-When it´s light enough to tell a sheep from a (drog ??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
