Winter memories of summer feelings
- I insist on my opinion that a life of luxury and wealth has a great ability to refine the soul and correct behavior.
- Suppose we put a homeless person with shabby clothes in a clean environment, then took off his worn out clothes and replaced them with new ones, then fed him meat broth every day, would this person wish to return to his previous life of illness and misery?
- There is no doubt then that his soul will be refined little by little, and the good human spirit will live within him again, and then you will find him himself reluctant to return to street life again, and his human conscience may prompt him to extend a helping hand to those who were suffering like them in the past. And to try as much as he can to lift them out of a life of poverty and misery.
