The moment of dawn

During the World Economic Forum at Davos, the winner of the Nobel Prize for Peace, Shimon Peres, told the following story.

A priest gathered his students and told them:

'How do we know the exact moment when night ends and day begins?'

'When it's light enough to tell a sheep from a dog,' said one boy.

Anothe student said, 'No, whent it's light enough to tell an olive tree from a fig tree.'

'No, that's not a good definition either.'

'Well, what's the right answer?' asked the boys.

And the priest said:

'When a stranger approaches, and we think he is our brother, and all conflicts disappear, that is the moment when night ends and day begins.'
