Example To Follow - Example To Follow

Dov Beer of Mezeritch was asked:

‘Which is the best example to follow?

That of the pious man who dedicates his life to God without ever asking why, or that of the erudite man, who tries to understand the will of the Almighty?’

‘The best example to follow is that of the child,’ replied Dov Beer.

‘But a child knows nothing. It doesn’t even understand what reality is!’ was the general response.

‘There you are much mistaken, because the child has four qualities that we should never forget.

A child is always happy for no reason. A child is always busy.

When a child wants something, he or she shows great persistence and determination in demanding that thing.

Lastly, a child is always very quick to stop crying.’
