There was a Nebraska farmer who grew award-winning corn. Each year he
\nentered his corn in the state fair where it won a blue ribbon.<\/p>\n
One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something
\ninteresting about how he grew it. The reporter discovered that the
\nfarmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors.<\/p>\n
‘How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors
\nwhen they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?’ the
\nreporter asked.<\/p>\n
‘Why sir,’ said the farmer, ‘didn’t you know? The wind picks up pollen
\nfrom the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my
\nneighbors grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade
\nthe quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my
\nneighbors grow good corn.’<\/p>\n
So it is in other dimensions. Those who choose to be at peace must help
\ntheir neighbors to be at peace. Those who choose to live well must help
\nothers to live well, for the value of a life is measured by the lives
\nit touches. And those who choose to be happy must help others to find
\nhappiness for the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
