THE BLIND MAN AND A LIT LAMP
THE POINT OF VIEW
Once upon a time, there was a small town. There lived a man by himself who was blind. Yet, he carried a lit lamp with him whenever he went out at night.
One night as he was coming home after having dinner, he came across a group of young travelers. They saw that he was blind, yet carrying a lighted lamp. They started making rude comments about him. One of them asked him, “Hey Man! You are blind and can’t see anything! Why do you carry a lamp? !”
The blind man replied, “Yes, unfortunately I am blind and I can’t see anything but the lighted lamp I am carrying is for the people like you who can see. You may not see the blind man coming and end up bumping into me. That is why I carry a lighted lamp”.
The group of travelers felt ashamed and apologized for their poor behavior.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
We should think before judging others. Always be respectful and learn to see things from others point of view.
