Hello everyone..π
With February almost closingΒ in and meΒ ranting away about louubbhhh (that’s Love for you, Pardon my crankiness) for the past few weeks..Literally bludgeoning it..π¨π¨ha ha ha no no not sour grapes π again..since we talking about sourness lets talk of sour Oranges ππ..
A heartfelt story I received, so thought why not include it in my Sunday Gyaans..Yup I amΒ back to being the positive energy bearer..( Tell me about it…Eekksss after watching Deadpool my humor quotient sucks..π )
Anyways so here’s a sweet story about Sour oranges.. π
Sweetness of Sour Oranges
He often bought oranges from an old lady..π΅
After they were weighed, paid for and put in his bag, he would always pick one from his bag, peel it, put a segment in his mouth, complain it’s sour and pass on the orange to the seller..
The old lady would put one segment in her mouth and retort, “Why, it’s sweet,” but by then he was gone with his bag.
His wife, always with him, asked, “The oranges are always sweet, then why this drama every time?”
He smiled, “The old mother sells sweet oranges but never eats them herself. This way I get her to eat one, without losing her money. That’s all.”
The vegetable seller next to the old lady, saw this everyday.
She chided, “Every time this man fusses over your oranges, and I see that you always weigh a few extra for him. Why?”
The old lady smiled, “I know he does this to feed me an orange, only, he thinks I don’t understand. I never weigh extra. His love tilts the scale slightly every time.”
Life’s joys are in these sweet little gestures of love and respect for our fellow beings..
Esshh wish I could imply and follow this in my everyday life..π
I am learning ..What about you??
And as I keep reminding myself, Charity and goodwill begins at home, So I better be good to people around me than trying to bring about a drastic change in the society..π
Have a great week ahead everyone..
UntilΒ next time,
Do good..Be good..β£

Neethu lovely one. This is called love for the fellow being. If we all try to be good to the next fellow being then the whole world will become beautiful. But unfortunately many don’t realize it. It’s always so good to help someone – I love that feeling. A small gesture and u will see a big smile in the persons face. That’s it the moment brings a lot of happiness. Lovely feeling. U r the best when coming to some gyaans and u r super best when coming to laughter also. Keep rocking. Have a pleasant week ahead. Hugs ur way. π

Wow thank you for the kind words..made my day..π
I see a lot of my friends don’t agree with the do good be good part in today’s world..but I feel , do what is right..good or bad is not for us to judge..some times we do come across people who take undue advantages of the goodness ..so in those cases the story is completely different..I guess I better stop here else il have one mini blog post out here. .hava great week ahead and once again Thank you for taking time to read and comment…ππππ

Yes my dear you are correct in that part some do really take advantage of the goodness and try to be over smart with us. Sure that makes many to not help at all. Depends on your own experience. How can I not read your posts dear, it’s always very nice ones coming from u. I like it a lot. Infact I was just checking my mail if you had posted. π¬βΊοΈππππΌππΌ
