Lesson from a Shepherd

A friend of mine grew up as a shepherd until the age of 15 in East Africa. We were sharing stories with each other and he related a short parable to me that he learned from his mom: "Ten men who have 100 cows and all that milk--without love, they'll never be happy. Ten men who have only one cow and almost no milk for themselves--with love, they'll be happy." These life lessons seem to be all around the globe. Simple, yet profound.
