“In an overly rational world, even a dream can represent value, especially when this dream is about working out an answer toward ‘global’ human kindness and solidarity. But even in dreams there is always some small thing missing. Csillala, an old tailor, can no longer ply his craft well because of his old age. Yet, he decides to make a wonderful coat. He writes a letter to all the tailors in the world asking them to send him silk, canvas, yarn, buttons, anything. He wants to use everything that he is sent in making the coat. Anyone who puts on this coat will become kind, and will make his surroundings kind, too. When at last all the materials are gathered together from all around the world, it turns out that the eye of the needle is missing, and without it, it is impossible to sew. But the dream and the hope can live on. Even the longest journey begins with a single step.” Mária Kozma
