Why is the world so cruel?
Empower people to live healthier lives by sharing what you know.
There is an old vedic story.
A vagabond hermit was passing by an unknown village, it was approaching dusk. On the outskirts of the village, beneath a grand banyan tree an old man was waiting for his herd to return. The hermit asked the old man,
Is this village of good people?
Old man questioned back calmly - Why do you ask so, Oh Saint?
Hermit - Am tired and would rest in the village only if it's people are good or else I will sleep under this tree.
Old man - How were the people in the village from where you are coming from?
Hermit - They were an awful lot. Unworthy even to comment upon. They just gave me food to eat and roof over to sleep.
Old man - The people here are no better, am afraid oh Saint!
The Hermit cursed his misfortune and slept under the tree.
Next day another hermit was crossing the path.He too was tired and wanted to rest. He asked the old man
Are the people of this village hospitable enough to accommodate me for a night?
Old man - How were the folks in your previous stay?
Hermit 2 - They were awesome. They were so hospitable and compassionate.They offered me food and gave me place to sleep, I can't tell you how dearly I needed both. I left them with a heavy heart.
Old man stood up and welcomed the Saint to his home. And said, don't worry oh great man! People here are equally warm and friendly.
