Plough

The war was going on. Men were fighting . Women were carrying food to soldiers day and night, nursing the injured. In the village, only old people and children remained. One old man took an old plough and started sharpening it, mending it while singing. His wife said to him with annoyance, "You have a stone heart! Your sons joined a deadly battle, the village is mourning. Your comrades are thinking about the fate of the fate of the village, and you, knowing this, are mending the plough and singing a song! If someone would ask, whom are you trying for, what would you say? Tomorrow the enemy will come here, they will kill us, and they will take your plough."

"Oh, my dear wife, what are you talking about? They will kill us, but not the plough. I'm building - not destroying. The world is resting on this plough: if we survive, we will need the plough, and if we die, maybe the love for labour will awaken in those who will take it. We don't know, what is what in this world. Or what is going to happen."

So try to remain positive no matter what the situation is, and no matter what the outcome of any situation might be. In this world of destruction, focus your energy on creating something positive around yourself.
