Get the Man Right First

Some things are worth repeating. I may not have the story 100% accurate but the thought is terrific. A man gave a puzzle of the world to his son. It was challenging inasmuch as the son knew very little about the geography of the world. But he began. In record time he had the puzzle completed. The father was amazed and asked how he did it so quickly.

The son responded, "On the back side of the puzzle is the face of a man. I know about faces even if I don't know about the world. So I just got the man right. When I finished got the man right it naturally followed that the world was right."

A good story! And such a marvelous idea! Our world is a puzzle and so are many people in it. If we could only get the people right the condition of the world would take care of itself.
