The seasons of life

The seasons of life


There was a man who had four sons . he wanted his sons to learn to not judge 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 spring , the third in summer and the youngest son in the fall
When they had all gone and comeback , 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 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 fulfilment .
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right , because they had each seen but one season in the tree’s life.
He told them that you can’t judge a tree , or a person , by only one season and that the essence of who they are and pleasure , joy , and love that come from the life . can only be measured at the end when all seasons are up
If you give up when it’s winter,  you will miss the promise of your spring , the beauty of your summer , fulfilment of your fall .
DON’T JUDGE A LIFE BY ONE DIFFICULT SEASON .
DON’T LET THE PAIN OF SEASON DESTROY THE JOU OF REST
