Each Gives What He/She Has

Back in the days when Germany was divided, a huge wall separated East and West Berlin. One day, some people in East Berlin took a truck load of garbage and dumped it on the West Berlin side.

The people of West Berlin could have done the same thing, but they didn't. Instead they took a truck load of canned goods, bread, milk and other provisions, and neatly stacked it on the East Berlin side.

On top of this stack they placed the sign:

EACH GIVES WHAT HE HAS"

How very true! You can only give what you have. What do you have inside of you?
  • Is it hate or love?
  • Violence or peace?
  • Death or life?
  • What have you acquired over the years?
  • Is it the capacity to build or capacity to destroy?
  • Is it the ability to make money or steal money?
  • Is it ingenuity to develop good things that will benefit mankind or ability to bomb those good things that others have labored to build?

EACH GIVES WHAT HE HAS"
