Are You Known By Your Kindness?

by Bo Sanchez

Do you want to be truly happy?
       
          Be kind.
         Let me tell you a story.
One day, a plane hit a storm and was about to crash. The problem was there were 4 passengers and only 3 parachutes.
       The first man took one parachute and said, “I’m a brain surgeon and my patients need me.” And he jumped off the plane.
       The second man took the second parachute and said, “I’m a rocket scientist, one of the smartest men in the entire planet, and the world needs me. And he jumped off the plane.
       The third man was Pope Benedict. He took the last remaining parachute and gave it to the fourth person who was a young boy. The Pope said, “Son, I’m an old man. I’ve served God enough. Go ahead and take this last parachute.”
