Is the morning coming?


Leyendo hoy un artículo en Activity Village, he ido a parar al blog de Steve Goodier.

En él da cuenta de una antigua historia judía, que va como sigue:

An old Jewish story tells of a rabbi who asked his disciples, "How do you know when the night is giving way and the morning is coming?"

One of the disciples stood and said, "Teacher, won't you know that night is fading when, through the dim light, you can see an animal and recognize whether it is a sheep or a dog?"

The rabbi answered, "No."

"Rabbi," asked another. "Won't you know that the dawn is coming when you can see clearly enough to distinguish whether a tree is a fig or an olive?"

"No," responded the teacher. "You'll know that the night has passed when you can look at any man and any woman and discern that you are looking at a brother or a sister. Until you can see with that clarity, the night will always be with us."


Después de escuchar el discurso de Obama, no sé si la mañana está llegando, pero al menos la noche parece ya algo menos oscura.
