 Do not ask others for something that you lack in yourself

A man stood among a group of people, preaching to them with an important message in his heart. His eyes were emitting a light that reflected peace and love. His words flowed like a gentle breeze, touching the hearts of those present with their kindness and wisdom.

“We must forgive each other,” said the man in a confident voice, as if carrying a measure of divine wisdom. Until we ask God Almighty for mercy and forgiveness, how can we ask forgiveness from God when we do not forgive other people?

The man departed gently with his wife after he had finished speaking. The wife watched him with admiration and inspiration. These simple words had such a powerful effect on her that she felt the change growing inside her. She decided to tell him something important, something she had been reluctant to talk about, but became bold thanks to her husband's strong talk.

I want to tell you something," said the wife gently, as if bringing something important to the surface. "I needed some things that I lacked, so I decided to sell your gold watch to get it."

Immediately, the car stopped hard, and the husband shouted upset: "What are you saying?"

The wife answered honestly: "I needed some money and you were preoccupied with your work, so I felt distressed and needy, so I had to sell your watch. Believe me, I did not know that it would bother you in this way."

But instead of understanding his wife's words and reflecting on what she said, the husband hit her with a violent slap. Not only was the slap hurting her body, but also her heart, she hadn't expected his violent reaction to what she said.

“It is theft!” exclaimed the husband, “how do you do that without consulting me?”

The wife did not get up at these hurtful words, but smiled gently as she answered: “I just wanted to test you, will you forgive me as you preached to people a while ago or not?

The wife considers to herself how her husband did not observe his actions with the same compassionate gaze that he advised others. As the wise man said: "Do not ask others for something that you lack in yourself."

At that moment, their hearts changed. The husband pondered what had happened and remembered the words spoken by the man who stood among them in the gathering. He decided to forgive his wife and be more understanding and merciful with her in the future.

From then on, the couple became more appreciative of each other and learned valuable lessons about forgiveness and compassion, and began to build a stronger and more solid relationship between them, based on trust, tolerance and love. And keep sharing that wisdom with others, hoping that it will reach their hearts as well and build a better world with peace.
