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 to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in winter, the second in the spring, the third in the summer and the youngest son in the fall.

When they all had gone and returned, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said the tree was ugly and twisted. The second son said no, it was covered with green buds ad full of promise. The third son disagreed, he said it was filled with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful that it was the most graceful things he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them, insisting that it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and satisfaction.

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had seen but one season in the tree’s life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by one season. If you give up when it’s winter, you’ll miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, and satisfaction of your fall.

Don’t let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest!

Answer 1

  Don’t Make Haste in Judgment

The four sons, having been arranged to visit the pear tree at different seasons came back respectively describing it as disagreeable in winter, promising in spring, graceful in summer and full of life and satisfaction in autumn.

   Of course, as the father put it, they were all right but one-sided as none of them had witnessed the growth of the tree all year round. In fact, there are those who jump to a conclusion before taking a full perspective of things. Here is a story: a husband who had returned from a business trip, on arriving home at midnight, heard a snorting sound coming from the bedroom and decided that his wife had betrayed him, left home and requested a divorce from his wife, who felt hurt and begged to be explained why. When the wife told him the snorting was nothing but the Rising Anti-Virus Software in the computer, he was ashamed to death for being so irresponsible as not to give it a second thought.

  Therefore never make haste. Only when you learn to judge things in an all-sided manner can you enjoy and be grateful to your life and withstand difficulties or different opinions peacefully.
