Blind Man And Lamp

Long time ago, there was a temple in one street where lived an old monk who had a habit to have a night walk in the street in front of the temple.
But, the street was dark and frequently he hit other people due to darkness. One night, when he walked in the street a light came from a distance of a lamp which was held by a man.
For his curiosity, he approached this man, but to his surprise this man was blind. He, of course, asked the reason since the light had no help to the blind man.
The blind man answered that though he could not see the light, but other people could see it and therefore, they will not come close to hit him.
It is very clear that in order to protect himself, he also did something good for others. From here we can learn that we should do something good for ourselves, but on the other hand, it is good to others too. Such things should be perfect to society.
