The universe took the form of a beggar, came down to earth, went to the shoe makers home and said “brother I am very poor. I don’t have a cent. These are my only sandals and they’re broken if you would do me the favorâ€. The shoe maker told him he was tired of everyone asking and no one giving. The beggar answered by telling the shoe maker he could give him what he needed. The shoe maker, not trusting the beggar, said “can you give me the million dollars I need to be happy?†The beggar said “I can give you ten times more than that but in exchange of somethingâ€. “In exchange of what?†asked the shoe maker. “In exchange of your legs.†“And what do I need 10 million dollars for if I won’t be able to walk?†asked the shoe maker. Then the beggar said “I can give you 100 million dollars in exchange of your arms.†The shoe maker looked puzzled and said “what do I need 100 million dollars for if I won’t even be able to eat alone?†Then the beggar said “I can give you 1000 million dollars in exchange of your eyes.†The shoe maker thought for a brief moment and replied “What do I need 1000 million dollars for if I won’t be able to see my wife’s face, my children, my friends?†The beggar looked at the shoe maker and whispered “Brother, what a fortune you have and don’t realize.â€
I'd like to meet:
The cruelest consequence of duality is that we believe in the rightness of shutting love out. "Being open" is equated with "being weak". "Being closed" is equated with "being strong." And society reinforces these dualities by reminding us, day in and day out, that this is not a world where love is safe. "Normal" life requires everyone to appear as strong as possible, and this tactic, which may work in other areas, fails miserably when it comes to love. DC
