A beautiful story

I found this story in a community and would love to share it with you. Unfortunately I don't know the author.

A while back, at the entrance of a gym, there was a picture of a very thin and beautiful woman. The caption was “This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?”

The story goes, a woman (of clothing size unknown) answered the following way:

“Dear people, whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, seals, curious humans), they are sexually active and raise their children with great tenderness. They entertain like crazy with dolphins and eat lots of prawns. They swim all day and travel to fantastic places like Patagonia, the Barents Sea or the coral reefs of Polynesia. They sing incredibly well and sometimes even are on CDs. They are impressive and dearly loved animals, which everyone defend and admires.

Mermaids do not exist. But if they existed, they would line up to see a psychologist because of a problem of split personality: woman or fish? They would have no sex life and could not bear children. Yes, they would be lovely, but lonely and sad. And, who wants a girl that smells like fish by his side?

Without a doubt, I’d rather be a whale."

Little differencies

Everyone is talking about tolenrance. And everyone needs to tolerate the little differencies of hisown. All we expect is the others to tolerate us. But are we tolerating others? We are promising to do this but do we keep our promises?

Sure, it is not easy to do this. But if we start to do so, we set a sign. A sign that the others can follow. Then we can change the world but givin example. Not in the other way. Unfortunatelly we forget this often. And it is so easy to do.

Keeping our promises and respecting the others reminds us we are not alone. And it is a beautiful feeling to be a part of something big and important. We only need to do a little effort: practice tolerance.
