Gestures, Little - to be made for everyone we meet

11/29/2013

Just because people are different from you, it doesn’t mean you have the right to mistreat them or ignore them. You will do better to try to understand them. In this way you will be establishing a good habit, which will then protect you from many dangers. You meet people who think they are so important! They think they don’t have to make any effort for little ants. But maybe one day they will find themselves, like in fairy stories, having to sort thousands of grains of wheat, barley or rice in a few hours, and then they will be very pleased when the ‘ants’ come to their aid. Or else they will be bound tightly hand and foot, and a little mouse will start gnawing at the rope to set them free. You will say, ‘But those are fables, fairy stories for children!’ If you like… The mice and the ants represent those people you mix with that you tend to look down on. But who knows? Perhaps those people you were able to show some respect, because they deserved it, will one day come to your rescue.
