​#Inspired_Being – Of seasons of life… and your judgement!

“There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to Judge

things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and

look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in

the #winter, the second in the #spring, the third in #summer, and the youngest

son in the #fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe

what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and

twisted. The second son said no–it was covered with green buds and full

of promise. The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms

that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most #graceful

thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said

it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment. The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they

had each seen but Only one season in the tree’s life. He told them that you

cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence

of who they are–and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life–

can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are complete. If you give up when it’s winter, you will miss the promise of your spring,

the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall. Don’t let the pain

of one season destroy the joy of all the rest. Don’t judge life by one

difficult season. Persevere throughout the difficult patches and better

times are sure to come some time or later.” – Anonymous Enjoy #life… suspend your #judgement!. #Monir_El_Shazly
