#58: Bring Just What’s Necessary
In a remarkable story from 1140, a German king laid siege to the town of Weinberg with a demand that seemed to seal the fate of its inhabitants: all women were to leave, taking only what they could bear on their backs. Facing this cruel decree, the women of Weinberg orchestrated a defiant and heartwarming response.
In a unanimous act of love and unity, they chose to carry their husbands, leaving behind all material possessions. This unexpected move took the king by surprise, but true to his word, he allowed them to pass. This clever and touching act of resistance safeguarded their property and reinforced the bonds of their relationships. This historical episode celebrates the profound strength found in acts of collective love during challenging times.
