The Visionary had another troubling vision. In his dream he saw multitudes of people suffering from a terrible sickness. They cry night and day and plead for help.
Immediately, the Visionary went to the Inspirer and alerted her of his visions. To his surprise however, the Inspirer continued to attend to a woman kneeling at her feet.
“Can’t this wait?” the Visionary snapped. “We have a lot of things to do.”
“But can’t you see? This woman’s heart had just been broken!” the Inspirer exclaimed.
“That’s just one heart!” the Visionary protested. “More people will suffer if we do not hurry.”
“That is where you are wrong,” the Inspirer replied. “All evil starts when we begin to ignore one heart. The moment you become comfortable watching a single soul die, you’d have set yourself numb to all other sufferings around you. Before long, you wouldn’t even care if a whole multitude becomes stricken with death as multitudes of people consist only of individual souls. I am not here to save many. I am here to save all by saving one broken soul, one God-given soul at a time.”

Dear Jocelyn .. that is a lovely story .. we do rush from one thing to another - and perhaps if we paid more attention and spent more time with that immediate person, we would help more souls than the one we’d started with.
That’s a good thought - the Inspirer says so true ..
Thank you - Hilary Melton-Butcher

That’s a lovely anecdote, and timely. It reminds me that world peace starts within, and we must heal our hearts in order to heal the world. I suppose there are many ways to do that, as I’ve read stories about people who feel better when they’re helping others. However we choose to do it, we simply ought to do it! Strong hearts = a more peaceful, stable and healthy world.
