WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS…

WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS…

 

A poor, old man went about planting mango trees.

 

Someone said to him, "Why are you planting trees at your age? Surely, you will not live to eat their fruit!"

 

Quietly, answered the old man, "I have eaten mangoes grown from trees planted by others. Let my tree yield mangoes to those who live after I am gone!"

 

We live in a wonderful universe in which everyone, everything gives. The trees give; the river gives; the earth gives; the sun, the moon and the stars give. Why then, must thou, O man, be anxious to take, to receive, to amass, to gather, to hoard, and not to scatter?

 

Everyone – howsoever poor he be, can give something. He can give a loving thought, a sweet word, a radiant smile, a moving song, a helping hand, which may bring comfort to a broken heart. More than money, the world needs love and sympathy.
