Kindness Is The Greatest Wisdom
This story was told about a Hindu who saw a scorpion floundering around in the water..
He decided to save it by stretching out his finger, but the scorpion stung him..
The man still tried to get the scorpion out of the water, but the scorpion stung him again...
A man nearby told him to stop saving the scorpion that kept stinging him.
But the Hindu said: "It is the nature of the scorpion to sting. It is my nature to love. Why should I give up my nature to love just because it is the nature of the scorpion to sting?".
So don`t give up loving.
Don't give up your goodness.
Even if people around you sting..
Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you - not because they are nice, but because YOU ARE..
Don't wait for people to be friendly, show them how.
Because "Kindness is the greatest wisdom."
