A little story to ponder...

Hello,

How is your wheat doing?

Managing this emotion that is fear reminds me of the story of a farmer living in a remote place who used to sit on the front steps of his house during the sowing season. One day, a stranger stopped at the farmer’s house to ask for a glass of water. “How is the wheat doing?” the stranger asked.

• I haven't sown any, the farmer replied.

• Really? said the stranger. I thought it was a region favorable for wheat harvesting.

• I was afraid it wouldn't rain, the farmer said.

• Oh, well, how is the corn crop doing? the stranger asked.

• I don't have any, the farmer replied.

• Haven't you planted any corn, my dear? the stranger asked, somewhat bewildered.

• "No," said the farmer. I was afraid the corn would rot.

• Good heavens! cried the stranger, what on earth have you planted?

• Nothing! the farmer replied. I simply didn’t take any risks.

If we truly reap what we sow, then I ask you what this farmer sowed by taking no risks? You are right – absolutely nothing!

Have a good day

Marylena, what is the lesson of your story?

that if you do nothing… you get nothing…

To eat a pigeon, you first have to catch it.
To find a job, you have to submit applications.
To make money, you have to work or have mega luck in the lottery.
To harvest vegetables, you first have to plant seedlings or seeds…

You can't get something for nothing.

Thank you, Your Highness

Hello,

Thank you, claudiac, for your reply. I’m having a technical issue: some idiots set fire to the HLMs, so we’re without an internet telephone line. I’m posting this from work. Fortunately, it’s not serious, as we could have evacuated.
So I will be temporarily unavailable from home on the site during the repairs, and I’m thinking of you all.
I'll add a little quote just in case

affectionately

Since we cannot change the direction of the wind, we must learn to adjust our sails.

Marylena, I don't understand your quote… can you be more explicit…

Hello Marylena,
I appreciate your quote.
Indeed, it is no use going against the wind… one must adapt, according to him.
Best regards,

Hi Claudiac!

I agree with you, life is earned and it depends on what we make of it.

Warm regards

Hello Maryléna

I really like your story; it is steeped in symbolism and offers a different perspective on fear and the criticism it can provoke.

Thank you for this lesson in tolerance hidden within this story

Best regards

Okay… Lolly, very good continuity, and may the divine spark within you shine even brighter and illuminate your path… search
