Friday, 22 June 2007
While on vacation a husband and wife team of psychologists lounged by the pool. Seemingly out of nowhere, a young girl appeared next to them. She told the couple her name was Jessica and that she was seven years old.
The husband had a habit of asking to-the-point, tough questions. He looked over at the bright-eyed girl and whimsically asked her, "What is life all about?"
Jessica thought for a second before replying. "The purpose of life is to be kind and loving," she said, "to be here for other people, to make the world a better place than before you came."
Bolting upright, the husband and wife asked the girl where she had learned these things. "Did you learn them from your parents?"
"No," Jessica answered.
"In school?"
"No."
"At church, then?"
"Uh, no."
"Well, where did you learn such things?" they asked the youngster.
"I just knew them before I came here," she said.
Looking back at our lives, remember how much we knew as children — how much we knew of truth and honesty. How much of that have we given up or forgotten? How much have we surrendered out of our own fears, surrendered in desperate need to fit into society, surrendered to compromise our integrity?
