З життя
Три перспективи на одну подію
Одного разу три жінки зупинилися біля крамниці на ринковій площі Львова, де продавали сливи.
Перша згорнула губи:
— Подивіться, які зім’яті, недозрілі… І за таке беруть, як за дорогоцінність! Де сьогодні знайти щось справді гарне? Світ уже не той…
Друга усміхнулася:
— А мені здається, цьогорічні сливи — справжнє диво. Дощі й спека псували врожай, але вони все одно солодкі й пахнуть літом. Хазяйка певно доклала чимало зусиль.
Третя ж без зайвих слів відкрила торбинку:
— Мій син захворів на ангіну. Лікар сказав давати йому теплий узвар із сушених слив. Йому зовсім неважливо, чи вони ідеальні. Головне — щоб були з добром.
Мораль:
Кожен сприймає дійсність через власний досвід.
Для одних — це поганий товар.
Для інших — повага до чужої праці.
А для когось — можливість показати любов і увагу.
Тому, перш ніж осуджувати, задумайся — з якого серця ти дивишся на речі.
