Who Would Like This $20 bill?

My same Aussie friend sent me this. xx


A lecturer who began a seminar by holding a twenty-dollar bill and asking: "Who would like this $20 bill?" Several hands went up, but the lecturer said: "Before I give it to you, I have to do something." He screwed it up into a ball and said: "Who still wants this bill?" The hands went up again. "And what if I do this to it?" He threw the crumpled bill at the wall, dropped it on the floor, insulted it, trampled on it, and once more showed them the bill - now all creased and dirty. He repeated the question, and the hands stayed up. "Never forget this scene," he said. It doesn't matter what I do to this money. It is still a $20 bill. So often in our lives, we are trampled, crumpled, ill-treated, insulted, and yet, despite all that, we are still worth the same."
