The Power of Two
Two are better than one,
Because they have a good reward for their labor.
For if they fall, one will lift up his companion.
But woe to him who is alone when he falls,
For he has no one to help him up.
Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm;
But how can one be warm alone?
Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him.
And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
It has been said that there is power in numbers and even two is better than one.
When one falls down, she/he has no one to pick her/him up.
But with two she/he will be encouraged/assisted to rise again.
When one is cold, she/he has no one to warm her/him.
But two generate heat for both.
When one is overcome, she/he finds it hard to defend herself/himself.
But with two there is power to overcome.
We are human beings, we are social beings, and we require others around us to assist and sustain us in this world.
We must learn to look out for one another.
We must learn to support one another.
We must learn to be there for those around us.
We were never meant to be self –sufficient, but rather interdependent.
There is no greater gift than a true friend.
Be that friend today!
