The topic is a thought provoking one which cross examines each one of us.I was inspired to put this down for my readers and those coming behind. Check out this story: In the days when Germany was divided, a huge wall separated East and West Berlin, a day came, some people in the East Berlin took a truck load of garbage and dumped it on the West Berlin side. The people of West Berlin could have done the same but they decided to do otherwise, instead they took a truck load of canned goods, bread, milk and other provisions and neatly stacked them on the East Berlin side and on top of them they placed the sign: EACH GIVES WHAT HE HAS. How very true, you can only give what you have. What do you have inside of you? Is it hate or love ? Violence or peace? Death or life? Capacity to build or Capacity to destroy? What have you acquired over the years? Team spirit or pull down architecture? Gentleness or rudeness? Humility or pride? Respectful or insulting? Charitable or stingy? Greedy or considerate? EACH GIVES WHAT HE HAS Think about this and be more conscious of what you are giving.
I appeal to you give out the good and that’s the best we expect from you and that’s all we need from you. That’s what can help our world. We have seen enough dirty garbage, we want to see more of beautiful flowers, paintings, deeds, gestures, great and amazing things coming from you. Be an ambassador of good vibes, good energy. When we look towards your side, let what we see wow us, let it worth what can change our world for better. Ask yourself, IS THIS THE BEST I CAN GIVE?CAN I NOT DO BETTER? YES YOU CAN DO BETTER. Next time when you see someone act in a great way Next time when you see someone act in an amazing way Next time when I see you doing good or bad Next time when you see me doing good or bad Remember this: EACH GIVES WHAT HE HAS
