A wise teacher asked his students, "How can we determine the hour of dawn—when the night ends and the day begins?"
"When, from a distance, you can distinguish between a dog and a sheep?" one of his students suggested.
"No," the teacher answered.
"Is it when you can distinguish between an oak tree and a hickory tree?" another student asked.
"No," he replied.
"Please tell us the answer, then," said the students.
"It is when you can look into the face of a human being and have enough light to recognize in him your brother," the wise teacher replied. "Until then, it is night, and the darkness is still with us."
