Caring and Sharing..

There is a story. Once there was a learnt man who also was proud of his knowledge. He thought he achieved the highest knowledge.

One day he was walking in the streets and saw a poor beggar sitting near a garbage bin. He looked very hungry and tired. Then somebody came and threw some food waste. He took it and there came a street dog. The dog wagged its tail and looked at him.

The beggar gave the food to the dog. The learnt man got surprised to see this and he then went to the beggar and asked.

“You look very hungry and tired and you gave that food to the dog. Isn’t it foolish?”

“Because I am a human. It is not there in a dog’s nature to share its food. Only a human can do it” replied the beggar.


The learnt man paid his salutation in respect and arranged for some food for the beggar

Yes, we humans are designed for caring and sharing too. It is there in our nature, though we are not aware of it.
