Treatment
From an early age, we are taught to take care of our bodies and to look after the things that we may acquire. Some do, some don’t. There are many reasons that may prompt a person towards taking reasonable care or being over-indulgent or indeed to show neglect. It has been said that some idea of a person’s character can be ascertained from their toe nails! These hidden parts may not expect to be on public display very often so it may be possible that they reveal something about a person who either tends them carefully or neglects them. How someone treats their toes may indicate how that person treats some other things. Take this wooden gate – if this is not soon treated, rot will set in which will seal the gate’s fate. Proper treatment of the wood is essential for its ongoing purpose. What would your toes or your gate reveal?!
- ‘He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals’ – Immanuel Kant
- ‘In matters of truth and justice, there is no difference between large and small problems, for issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same’ – Albert Einstein
