Milk and water

Met an interesting person who shared with me an anecdote that's worth sharing considering its relevance in today's dog eat dog world. The king in a particular region ordered all inhabitants to pour milk in a giant tank located within the palace. Being lesser mortals, each of them sneered at the idea and thought of dishonouring the order. Their idea was simple - when the chap next to me pours milk, why can't I pour water instead? Who will know the difference? To the utter dismay of everyone, the tank was filled only with water.

Well, atleast one could have made a difference. That's the world. Time to wake up to make a difference.
