Aesop’s fable “Androcles and the Lion” tells the story of Androcles, who
removed a thorn from a lion’s paw, and was subsequently rescued by the very
same lion. The moral of this story is that kindness can sometimes turn a
dangerous enemy into a great friend. So let’s not be too quick to hate our
enemies. Instead, let’s treat our enemies as potential friends, by demonstrating
kindness and compassion. It’s more humane to cure your enemies than to kill
them.
