This video really inspired me. Do you plan to make more videos in a similar style? I’m really looking forward to it!

Pay no attention to the idiots who don't get it. It's a valuable lesson in looking back at the good things you missed while focused on something else.

Well said! It's all about appreciating the positive aspects we often overlook while chasing something else.

[@jamesculp3622]

Can you imagine a child of today, unhappy because they were born of a different sex and instead of wisdom they are offered surgery. In an effort to rid their children's life of hardship, parents coddle their children and place them in sterile environments that lead to them dying of peanut allergy's. There is an importance to labor and hardship in youth. What kind of future do a people have who have never known Hardship? Because that's coming and these kids are not prepared because of another "Failed Parenting Program". "What are Chores, Alex".

[@lynnodonnell4764]

It's about persevering. How one present small action builds on the last action. Like pulling weeds. Or improving your property when only hand tools are accessible. Or piecing a quilt by hand because you don't have a sewing machine or until you get one... I can see how showing both sides of the road lush w flowers was NOT a good visual metaphor - at all

[@wisdomnow1]

Absolutely, perseverance is key! Sometimes, it's the small, consistent actions that lead to significant progress over time. It's like building a foundation stone by stone. While the visual metaphor might not have resonated with everyone, the underlying message of persistence and gradual growth is still powerful and relatable.

[@lauriepolden6594]

Why can’t people believe things like that anymore? Why can’t they understand? There is so many beautiful things in the world that have nothing to do with money.

[@keithlinney7084]

Ask Ping, Kim or Putin! 'Survival of the fittest' is 'Greed' and nothing else. How many Mother Theresas do you get for every drug dealer, pimp and serial burglar? Why do we have locks on doors? John Lennon's 'Imagine' was a nice thought but he beat Yoko quite a bit! Animals kill, steal and want the biggest share.. get used to it.

[@elvispresley6392]

Because "we" have been conditioned to focus on the leaky bucket. We are lead to . . . nope, that's about it. We are lead. We can't "just be". People do believe these things, you're proof of that. I was going to leave a much longer comment(bad habit I have), but I won't. Just keep being you & look for the beauty in life. It is contagious . . . ✌️😎

[@wisdomnow1]

It's true, there's so much beauty in the world beyond money. Sometimes, we just need to slow down and appreciate the simple, priceless things around us.

[@WildBillILL]

Asinine, pure and simple. Had he known the goal, he may have completed the goal better than just following blind orders.

Heard something similar many moons ago about a bucket but one of the people in the story was called Liza and one called Henry, same outcome though the bucket never got fixed in the end...

[@wisdomnow1]

Yes, that's a classic story! It's a great reminder of how sometimes we go in circles trying to solve problems. The outcome might not change, but the lessons we learn along the way are valuable.

[@pattyskillman8376]

Perseverance is a must. Jesus never gave up on his way to the cross for me si I choose to persevere like he did. Victory is for those who trust Jesus in all circumstances …

Thank you for the inspiring words! Trust and perseverance go a long way.

Jesus killed a fig tree because figs were not in season. He was not a nice person.

[@GamegirlGamegirl]

He used all kinds of things, even a tree to teach people/all of us life lessons and Faith, the tree was just an example

[@sananselmospacescienceodys7308]

Perseverance? What would Jesus know of perseverance? My mother was tortured in a "care facility" for fourteen unspeakable mouths. By contrast Jesus had a really bad weekend.

[@CarlosSantana-we6ts]

@@sananselmospacescienceodys7308 in that passage that you’re referring to Matthew 21:18,19 Jesus, uses a fig tree to teach the apostles a important lesson. he said he sees the fig tree with lots of leaves, but no fruit. This is like people who say they follow. God‘s teachings (THE LEAVES) but don’t actually do good deeds. (THE FRUIT) just as the tree with no fruit withered away, people who only pretend to follow God without doing his will also face consequences. this teaches us that our actions are important not just our words .

[@invisibilianone6288]

All along the path of life, there are places our soul leaks good energy, to others. Some grow and flourish from those leaks. Some, will not.⚡ . If ones soul is leaking bad energy along life's path, that too may flourish. . Which path, do you want to look back and see?

Was there some fertiliser in that bucket….? These stories are interesting to show young children and to get them to discuss. The message gets across despite a little over - exaggeration!

Maybe, not every detail is told, and that's the beauty of stories-they leave room for imagination. They are indeed perfect for sparking discussions and teaching young children important lessons.

[@rul4522]

….? Why, life is life.

Read a Bible instead of listening to men teach. Salvation is of the Jews.

@@wisdomnow1 anyway, more simple. Strange that i forgot your story and mine keeps forever…..(i have it in my notes)

[@rul4522]

@@wisdomnow1 i copied the story: A water bearer in China had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of a long walk from the stream to his house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots of water to his house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do. After two years of what it had perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream, ‘ I am ashamed of myself, and because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house’. The bearer said to the pot, ‘Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot’s side?’ That is because i have always known about your flaw, and I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day when we walked back, you‘ve watered them. For two hears I have been able to pick these flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would be not be this beauty to grace the house. (Unique flaws - we are all cracked pots - to notice the good in them.) Now you can make a decision on your own.

[@Martin-ei9ek]

The moral. Get a plastic bucket 😊

[@wisdomnow1]

Haha, true! A plastic bucket would solve a lot of problems! 😊 But sometimes, the lessons we learn along the way are more important than the solution itself.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but inherit Eternal Life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, but men loved darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come into the light, for fear that their evil deeds will be exposed. But he who does the truth comes into the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done through God.” John 3:16-21
