The Old Man by the Road


There was once an old man sitting by the side of a dusty road. Nearby a man was beating up his wife. A young man happened to be walking by, and asked of the old man, “Why is he beating the woman he loves?” The old man replied, “Because he doesn’t love her!”

Then the old man said to the young fellow, “Look out upon the world and tell me what creatures you see?” To which the young man replied, “Only men, women, and animals.” That is correct said the old man, “There exist only men and women in the world, both equal in dominion; As far as this particular man beating his wife, he is one of the animals!”

In this parable, we see that everything in life is based upon mutual respect, and that to succeed in life we must treat others as we ourselves wish to be treated. Love and hate are two totally different energies, for how you treat the ones you love will show the entire world, just who you really are!
