EVEN THE TURTLE NEEDED WARMTH AND FRIENDLINESS

EVEN THE TURTLE NEEDED WARMTH AND FRIENDLINESS

A grandfather was walking around while holding his grandson at the border of the village. They found a turtle. The boy picked it up and looked at it seriously. The turtle immediately pulled it legs and entered it head under the shell. The boy tried to open it forcedly, but the turtle didn’t want to get out from the shell.

"You can’t do it on that way, Son!" Said the grandfather, "I will teach you the right one"
They went home. Grandpa put the turtle near the fireplace. A few minutes later, the turtle took out it legs and it head little by little. It began to crawl getting closer to the child.
"Do not try to force for doing every thing, Son!" Advised grandfather, "Give warmth and friendliness, it will respond."

Dear, Readers.  We know that a warmth and friendliness is the best way to get respond from everyone we lead. Sometimes violence looked efficient to lead. But I am sure they obey us just because of fear, and a fear is not eternal. It will disappear when the fearlessness appears in their heart. On the contrary if we act with warmth and friendliness, we will get love. Love is more eternal. It won’t go away for fear or bravery.

No matter what we are; Moslem, Christian, Hindis, or Buddhists; our God and our messengers never lead us with violence. They are so warm and friendly. So why we against each other? We need a nice world to live, and a nice world will come only on warmth and friendliness. Let’s gone be by gone. Our children need a better world to live.
