Fr Joyce, the Provincial of the Salesian Province of Bangalore, during his welcome words to the members of the major superiors of the Salesian Family, narrated a short story.
The small wave complained to the big waves that it was tired of life and fed up. That the big waves were all the time dominating and gulping the smaller waves was its main point. This grumbling went on for some time and when it had finished the big wave replied, "Big or small, we all are basically made up of water!"
Forgetting this reality would result in squabbles and misunderstandings and complaints and competition. Awareness and acceptance of this essence will only aid in growth and peace.
