200 hands were raised.
I'm going to give one of you this $20, but let me do this
first, he said. He tattered the bill.
Who still wants it, he then enquired?
There were still 200 hands up.
He responded, "Well, what if I do this?" He then
threw the banknote to the floor and trampled it with his sneakers.
He took it up and displayed it to the audience. The banknote
was filthy and scrunched up.
"Now who wants it still?"
Still, every hand was raised.
"My friends, I just taught you a crucial lesson."
You desired the money regardless of what I did to it since its value remained
constant. Still, it was worth $20. Life crushes and grinds us into the dirt a
lot in our lives. We suffer from terrible conditions or make poor decisions. We
feel unworthy. You will never lose your value, regardless of what has happened or
will happen. You are unique; never forget that.
