Isn't the Universe strange? A positive thing, like Newman's salad dressing profits, is out into the ethos and it changes into something far greater? We never know how our lives will be used to serve the greater good until we venture forth. Paul Newman took the pain of his life and it didn't save his son but it helped many other suffering people. Thanks for giving me something to think about today.
Powerful story! It reminds me that there are still good people in the world. Perhaps we just start by being considerate and tolerant. Thanks for sharing.
I've been really impressed by Melinda Gates' philanthropic work over the years. Both with and without her ex-husband's participation. It seems like she truly believes in giving back and making the world a better place.
When Germany was divided into East and West, they constructed a huge wall to separate the two.
After a few days, the East Germans collected garbage and dumped it on the Western side. They felt triumphant thinking they had humiliated people on the other side.
After a couple of days, the West Germans brought in truck loads of fresh fruits, freshly baked bread, provisions and silently left them on the Eastern side, along with a note.
The note read, "ONE CAN GIVE ONLY WHAT ONE HAS".
Isn't it true, we can only gift what we have?
Do not feel bad when someone throws rubbish at you or trolls you. Remember that they are gifting what they have.
The question is, 'What are you gifting people today?'
