There was a stiff steel padlock hanging on the door latch. A strong iron rod tried very hard to break it open but failed.
Then suddenly came a tiny little key, and with ease... and with its skinny little body, it has opened the stiff steel padlock with just a light twist.
The iron rod was curious and asked, "How could it possible that a big strong rod like me can't force open the padlock and with just a soft twist your tiny little key can easily open this stiff padlock??"
The key replied, "Because I have a deep understanding of its heart." Everyone hearts is like a door locked by a stiff padlock.
You can't simply open it with any strong or big iron rod.
You need a suitable key of care and love, tender and concern to fit yourself in as a gentle person into that stiff and stubborn heart of another person.
Speaking with kindness creates confidence, thinking with kindness creates profoundness, giving with kindness creates love." --Lao Tseu
