Before pointing fingers, look at yourself

🎧 Listen to the original voice message in Spanish from La Jardinera:

My dear seeds and stars of the skies, beautiful stars, so close to my heart,

Today we are going to share a story that has happened many times before, to us and also to our children. A boy, having just come back from school, began to mercilessly criticize a classmate in front of his mother. How many times has it happened to me: Mooooom! Moooooom! Frederick, Alberto, Hugo, he told me this, this. Always. It is that, he told his mom, it is that he is very silly, mom, everything, he does everything wrong, he doesn't hear it, he messes up his calculator, his notebook, he stumbles, every time the teacher asks,

he never knows the answer. He hasn’t even learned to multiply! The boy said to his his mother. He doesn't even have a mobile! And the boy continued: I am much smarter than him.

After hearing her son's complaints, the mother remained quiet and very thoughtful. Seeing that he did not get an answer, the boy insisted: Moooom, say something! Don't you also think I'm the smartest in the class? - This has also been asked by many boys and girls. And then the mother with a serene voice replied:

My darling, I'm going to answer your question with a little story:

A very ancient legend says that each person is born into the world with two bags suspended from their neck, one in front and one in the back. The bag at the front is full of the faults and defects of others, those belonging to schoolmates, brothers or friends. And in the other big bag that he carries behind his back, he bears her burden of his own faults and defects.

Hence we are always very quick to see the worst in others, but often, we are blindto our own flaws and we never see them.

So learn this life lesson well, my son:

Before seeing and judging other people's flaws, first look and judge your own.

With all my love,

Your Jardinera.

Comments that leave you without comments are unnecessary.

And since the beginning of time, we have always heard children, children believe that they are the best, the most handsome and we will always find that the others do not wear brands, that they are poorly dressed, that they do not wear nice shoes, adidas shoes, etc, etc.

With all my love,

Your Jardinera
