The lesson from the story is this: If you’re not a caring person now—but you desire to be a caring person—then go out and behave in caring ways. If you’re not an honest person now—but you desire to be honest—then go out and behave in honest ways. Just do what caring and honest people do. It may take time, but as you do these things, you can behave yourself into the kind of person you want to be.
