The Pear Tree and The Seasons of Life: 4Th Son 2Nd Son
The Pear Tree and The Seasons of Life: 4Th Son 2Nd Son
Once upon a time, a father had four adolescent sons. He has sent all of them were on a mission to educate them about the
consequences of judging things too fast. One by one, they travel to a faraway pear tree. Each son traveled at a dissimilar time of the
year, the first one in the winter, the second in the springtime, and so forth. Therefore, at the end of the year, he assembled his sons
and questioned them about what they had seen. In which, they all disagreed on every one of their observations about the
characteristics of the place they visited.
When each son had finished speaking, the father stated that they were all completely right since they had only witnessed a single season of the pear tree's life. He
clarified to his sons that judging something in this manner is both silly and impossible. The core of something, if that is a tree or a person, can only be assessed
overall, at the end of the year, after having viewed it in its entirety. Making a decision in the dead of winter means missing out on the hope of spring, the allure of
summer, and the bounty of fall.
Refuse to judge yourself, life, or other people based upon a single mistake or challenging time.
Refuse to let the pain of one season destroy the joy of those to come.
