An old story tells of a desert nomad who awakened in the middle of the night. He lit a candle and began eating dates from a bowl beside his bed. He took a bite from one and saw a worm in it; so he threw it out of the tent. He picked up a second date, took a bite out of it, and found another worm. He threw that date out of the tent too. Then he picked up a third date, took a bite out of it, and found another worm. He threw that one away also. He was very hungry, and reasoning that he wouldn't have any dates left to eat if he continued, he blew out the candle and quickly ate the rest of the dates. Many of us are like that. We prefer darkness and denial to the light of reality. Quote this article on your site | Views: 629 | Print | E-mail
