What happened in Bethlehem nearly two thousand years ago was repeated here. The first to believe were not the rich, not the wise, not the powerful, but the humble.
For almost always the rich, the wise and the powerful are hedged in by egoism and selfishness.
On the other hand, the poor, as at Bethlehem, live and sleep in the open air, and the windows of their simple souls are almost always open to out-of-the-ordinary things.
That is why they saw and believed. They also saw that a man was risking all for them.
--Eva Peron, My Mission In Life (1953) Ch. 7
So watch out for egoism.
