“There’s a story told about Mahatma Gandhi in which a woman took her little boy to see the great leader. “Mahatma, please tell my little boy to stop eating sugar,” the woman requested. “Come back in three days,” said Gandhi. In three days, the woman and the little boy returned, and Gandhi said to the little boy, “Stop eating sugar.” Puzzled, the woman asked, “But why was it necessary for us to return after three days? Couldn’t you have told my boy to stop eating sugar when we first visited?” “I could not tell him that then,” replied Gandhi, “because three days ago I was also eating sugar.”
