I came across one of Asop's fable, The Sun and the Wind. I can remember reading these when I was a tiny fella, lying in bed falling aspleep to the beautiful tales of life.

Recently, this particular story touched my heart and I wanted to share it with you and how it touched my heart.

The Wind and the Sun were disputing which was the stronger. Suddenly they saw a traveller coming down the road, and the Sun said: "I see a way to decide our dispute. Whichever of us can cause that traveller to take off his cloak shall be regarded as the stronger. You begin."

So the Sun retired behind a cloud, and the Wind began to blow as hard as it could upon the traveller. But the harder he blew the more closely did the traveller wrap his cloak round him, till at last the Wind had to give up in despair.

Then the Sun came out and shone in all his glory upon the traveller, who soon found it too hot to walk with his cloak on.

Kindness effects more than severity.

For us, we have always tried to lead our lives with this particular motto, Love & Compassion. Believe me, we understand that life can throw obstacles our way to test our resolve. Espically when it comes to something as powerful as saving our beautiful animal friends lives.

We have been in many situations when heated debates have arose over the benefits of leading a lifestyle that looks to protect and save our Earth and animal friends.
It is sad sometimes seeing our loved ones going through so much pain and suffering, when you know that it all could be healed if they adopted a compassionate Vegan lifestyle.

There have been times when I have felt the wave of emotion sweeping though my being, wanting to scream at people to wake up. The one thing that I have learnt, is that this is not helpful.
You know it yourself. If someone screams at you, shakes and rattles you, you immediatly retreat and you do not want to listen.

Understnading that we are all humans, that we all have our own path to lead can help us in leading with a Compassionate, Loving heart. Perhaps then our family and friends will open their's and feel the suffering of the world.

With Love, we can heal the planet.
