Here’s a problem: How do you get 100 freight train cars to move? That’s about 10,000 tons, and you may only have 2 locomotive engines. The answer lies in how the cars are connected to each other. They have coupling mechanisms that allow for some slack between each car on the train.
When the engineers start the locomotives moving forward, the first car begins to move. The first car’s momentum and the locomotive’s continual pull help get the second car moving, and then the third car moving, and so forth. It is like the train is a giant stretchable spring. The slack between the cars is gradually but quickly taken up, and the train starts moving, one car at a time.
Listen to the talk below to see how this applies to charity.
