We learn our lessons in the strangest of places.
I remember as a child in Sunday school class, sitting around in a circle and trying to sing a song about 'the fruits of the spirit'. Some poor, demented soul had actually tried to put music to the words 'peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, self-control...'.
It seemed, in that hazy understanding children have of the world, that if something wasn't put into song, it wasn't real. So we mercilessly belted out this tune, not having a clue what 'self-control' was, but it was in the song, so we bravely clapped out of sync, and stumbled over the syllables we tried to sing.
As years have passed, it is rare to come across individuals who possess even a few of these 'fruits'.
Sometimes, then, the best examples of how to be human do not come from humans at all. Watch this video. Let it take the time to load. It's worth it.
