Challenge 31

Recently I heard a Buddhist story that goes something like this:  A person picks up a hammer in one hand and a nail in the other.  She then goes to hit the nail on the head but the hammer slips and she hits the other hand instead.  Does the one hand waste time blaming the other or getting upset?  Does the one hand tell the other it is all their fault?  Do the fingers pass the blame?  No, the fingers and hands realize that they are all part of the same thing.  

Keep this in mind this week.  When you see strife or "other" remember to keep love in your heart as the "other" is an extension of you.  Treat "others" with the love you would like them to reflect on you.
