Tree
As the nature has seasons ,so does our self-Our inner milleue.

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.The essence of who they are and can only be known by the pleasure, joy,and love that comes from that life,can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.
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.
Moral lessons: Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest. Don't judge life by one difficult season. Persevere through the difficult patches and better times are sure to come some time or later.
This is an analogy to my theory that everyone evolves at different stages of their life. What you take as a give today, will grow into something new tomorrow. There is no certainty in any path you take, so just concentrate on the present as much as you do on the goal. When we start judging people, places, things on our preconceptions of them, we fail to realise the potential or beauty that they hold. Again I don't mean this as a general statement, but expect you to use your discretion to realise to what it applies.
Besides that, I'm so uninspired to blog about anything. My life is So Ho ho hoho boring...gym library sleep internet...fullstop. HOW LAH??!? someone give me something to think about, something to ponder, something to discuss, something to explain!
Pleeeese. I'll give you a chocolate.
