So much has been written and said about thinking of others.... "Put the needle on others, put the screw on yourself." "Wish for someone else what you want for yourself, and don't want for someone else what you don't want for yourself." etc...
But for some reason we cannot see the application of what has been written and drawn lately in daily life... What is changing... What are we losing as a society?... Sometimes we either never understand the value of those who value us, or we realize it too late... After we lose them then... After it's too late...
Now I remember a story from my mother's conversation with our neighbors... It might be a good example of valuing before it's too late... I'll try to convey that story... There were two brothers... Both of them They were working on a small farm inherited from their father... The slightly older brother was married and had five children... The other was single. At the end of each day, they shared their products and profits equally...
One day, the single brother said to himself: "It's not fair that we share our products and profits equally; I'm alone and I don't have many needs." With this thought, he started leaving his house every night and secretly taking a sack of grain to the grain warehouse in his brother's house.
Meanwhile, his older brother, who was married, said to himself: "It is not fair for us to share our product and profit equally; moreover, I am married. "I have a wife and children who can take care of me when I get old. However, my brother has no one to take care of me when he gets old." So, his brother started leaving his house every night and secretly taking a sack of grain to his brother's grain warehouse.
Since the amount of grain in their warehouse did not change, neither of them could understand what was going on for years... Until one night, at dusk, they secretly put grain into each other's warehouse. until we collided while carrying it. At that moment, they understood what was going on... They immediately dropped their sacks on the ground and embraced each other...
Isn't it a great example of valuing others?... Not in words, but in essence... An experience that is not only theoretical, but can also be put into practice. love... I think this is the real form of love, the fakes of which we have witnessed so many times... To love without the need for approval, to think beyond oneself… And to give without expectation… I wish you to encounter such love in essence, not in words…
With friendship….
