There’s a great video doing the rounds of the Internet at the moment. It’s all about a cute baby elephant that stumbles and falls. All the adult elephants rush to help the baby up and make sure it has recovered from the trauma.

Watching it made me wonder whether, when somebody in your universe stumbles and falls, do you and others rush to help them get up? Similarly, when you stumble and fall do others rush to help you?

And I don’t think the elephants rushed to help the baby because it was cute! It is inbred in them to help others in their tribe.

I do hope that it’s inbred in me and the people around me to help others in our tribe when the need is there.

Watch the elephant story here.
