Once upon a time, a long time ago, there was a good man, a global leader, who was gifted by God to bring justice to humanity. He had the power to travel from the East to the West and from the North to the South faster than the speed of supersonic jet.
One day, on his travels, he heard the cry of help from some primitive people living in Central Asia. They told him their story: every year, two tribes called Gog and Magog came every other month to steal, kill, destroy, rape and take girls and boys with them. This was an ongoing story, month after month, year after year, generation after generation.
The man, upon hearing this, came back with his mighty force, loyal army and superior technology. He did three things:
1. Protected the area with its army to prevent more invasions;
2. Transferred the superior technology to the local community;
3. Empowered the community, so it could become more independent after he eventually left.
The three solutions went hand in hand. While he was camped outside cities and villages with his army, he taught them how to build the greatest wall by making an alloy. His intervention at the border was short term but building the wall ensured long term protection. This huge wall was so effective because it was so strong, no technology at the time could be used to make a hole through it, and so smooth that it couldn’t be climbed.
The primitive people felt very grateful for being rescued. They asked the man: what do you want in return? Is it money, land, women, status?
He looked at big wall he built with them and said: “Just thank God that you are protected. I am taking my army out now and we are going to look for other community in need of protection. I expect nothing in return.”
I hope you have all liked this story and it can be a lesson for all of us who help others.
