The Blind Leading The Blind
StoryIllustration★★★★A blind man stood at an intersection in Newark, New Jersey, waiting for someone to help him cross the street. He felt a tug at his sleeve. “Going across?” a voice asked.
“Yes,” replied the blind man, as he took the arm of his unseen benefactor. Suddenly catastrophe struck! The other man was also blind.
The point
A blind man asks another man for help crossing the street, only to discover his benefactor is also blind. A cautionary parable about discernment in seeking and offering leadership.
