A Lesson in Empathy

When Willie Mays (now 92 years old) was a young boy, he was being bullied by a bigger kid in school, who took his money from him. So Willie went to his dad and asked him what he should do. Should he fight him, turn him in, or what? His dad told him no. Maybe he’s not a bully after all. Maybe he’s just hungry. Offer him half of your sandwich instead. Next time the kid accosted him, Willie offered him half of a sandwich, and they became good friends from then on.
