“Action rooted in compassion.” Could any lesson be simpler, or more important?
@robcinos (It is perhaps also useful to note that in the story, the road sweeper gives his •one• daily bowl of rice to the old man, after all the wealthy and powerful people in the town mocked him and turned the old man away. The road sweeper, who by the way is just a kid, would rather go hungry for a day than let a stranger suffer. Not just action, but an extraordinary act of generosity.)
