The circle of hate

A major employer was angry and scolded the director of one of its businesses. The manager came to his house and shouted to his wife, accusing her that she was spending too much because there was a filling lunch on the table. The lady yelled at the clerk, who broke a plate she kicked him to the dog because he stumbles

The animal ran out and bit a woman who was passing by. When she went to the pharmacy to get a cure, she screamed the pharmacist because it hurt the application of the vaccine. This man came home and yelled at her mother because the food was not to his liking. The lady, source of love and forgiveness, stroked his head as he said: "Dear Son, I promise you that tomorrow will your favorite food.

You work hard, you're tired and accurate today a good night's sleep. I will change the sheets on your bed, by other well clean and scented  so you can rest in peace. Tomorrow you'll feel better. "Blessed him and left the room, leaving him alone with his thoughts. At that time the circle of hate stopped, colliding with tolerance, sweetness, forgiveness and love.

THE IMPERFECT HOUSE

A master of construction already entered in years was ready to retire and enjoy his pension. He told his boss about his plans to leave the job to lead a more leisurely life with his wife and family. I was going to miss his monthly salary, but he needed to retire; and they would manage somehow. 

The chief realized it was inevitable that his good employee left the company and asked him, as a personal favor, to make the last effort to build another house. The man agreed and began his work, but he saw clearly that he was not putting his heart in what he did. He used inferior materials, and his work, like that of his aides, was lacking. It was an unfortunate way to put an end to his career. 

When the mason finished the job, the boss came to inspect the house and handed him the keys to the front door. "This is your house, dear friend said. It is a gift for you. "

If Mason had known he was building his own house, probably would have made totally different

Now he had to live in the imperfect house he had built! 

We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting when we should act, and without putting in that performance the best of us. 

Many times, not even we do our best at work. Then suddenly we see the situation we have created and find that we are living in the house we have built. If we had known earlier, we would have done differently. 

The conclusion is that we must think as if we were building our house. Every day we nailed a nail, got a wall or a roof we build. Build wisely is the only rule that can strengthen our existence. Even if we live only for a day, that day deserves to be lived graciously and with dignity. Life is like a draft it  yourself. His life now is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past.

Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and choices today!

Another of my hobbies is the vallenato music


and this is one of my favorites I hope you enjoy
