In the face of this story, I believe the Mullah's response to not part with his ring was OK! He was pragmatic to hold on to it yet gave away beautiful advice to the man and to all of us reading this story. Life is a balance between selfishness and selflessness. Of course, the balance can tilt more on one side over the other in everyone's life in different situations but imagine the balance with only one side to it. It will not be called a balance! This story reveals Mullah's human psyche and feels relatable. As for the non-gift aspect, It may be hard to appreciate one's non-tangible offerings over tangible items, gifts, or even physical efforts that are understood more and accepted.
