“35th story”
First published: April.19.2018
Once upon a time in a distant land, people lived in peace and happiness.
They had a simple life with simple jobs. Everyone worked hard to make an honest living.
There lived a man whose job was to deliver letters from town to town by riding his horse.
One time, when he was on the road as his horse was galloping very fast, the man saw a person lying on the side of the road.
He slowed his horse down and stopped, got off his horse, and approached the man lying on the muddy ground.
The injured man was covered in mud and didn’t look very well.
The rider first tried to give sympathy and find out where exactly he was injured.
In a split second, the injured man jumped up and ran as fast as the wind to the horse, hopped on him, and rode away.
The messenger who was kind enough to care to stop and help an injured person beside the road got very sad and disappointed.
He screamed aloud for the man to hear him: “I am not worried about you stealing my horse today. I am mad that when this story spreads, no one will ever help a human being who is actually in need on the road. No one will empathize with others. People will suffer and the world will go mad.”

Sad but true. And even today we usually don’t like to stop and help strangers.

Oh my this is so true. Today , at least in parts of North America, people are afraid to help an injured person because they may be sued if the person later dies or is disabled even if without help they would have died or been disabled.

Thank you for sharing that story. Hopefully it teaches us something else. That helping, loving, doing good always involves risk-taking, and we can’t let that risk keep us from doing good, for trying to help. Otherwise we lose our Soul. Also, your photographs are just stunning.

Often by helping no matter what country we are in or we chose to help, we can be taken advantage of and those asking help will be the vectors, unfortunately…it is not limited to North America but worldwide.
