THE STORY OF ALTRUISM: LET'S CONNECT THE BRIDGE

This is a story about two brothers living together in a small village, farming together, working together with the family. The two brothers have always loved and helped each other wholeheartedly, but only because of a small understanding, the two brothers gradually separated, did not talk Both of them were silent for weeks, hiding their anger in them. .
 

One day, an old carpenter knocked on his brother's door. He said "I can do and fix many things, does his house need to fix anything?" The older brother thought about it for a bit and then replied: "Okay, I have a job for you." Then the brother led the old carpenter to the back of the house and pointed: "The house next door is my sister's house, in the past there was a small creek between our two houses. Recently, my brother deliberately planted many tall trees at the same time. Dig out the lach, turn it into a boundary between the two houses. You see it, so you should build a 3 meter high fence for me. I never want to see its face again. "
The old carpenter thought for a few minutes and then said "I see". The older brother helped the old carpenter bring wood and tools to the back of the house and then went to the field to work. At night, the older brother came home, at this time the carpenter had finished his assigned work. When he went to the back of the house to check on, his brother was dizzy, his face was dumb and he could not say anything.
What should be a tall, sturdy fence is a bridge with a really special wooden bridge, intricately carved bridge wall, it is a work of art, not a tree. normal bridge. At the same time, the younger brother also happened to be there. He rushed across the bridge and hugged his brother, emotionally saying:
"Brother, I built a bridge connecting the two houses, after all I've said and done not to you. I'm sorry so much."
The older brother was also surprised, and burst into tears. While the two brothers were hugging, apologizing together and explaining everything, the old worker also arranged and tidied his own tools and tools to go home.

The brother hurriedly turned around and said: "Don't hurry, please stay and eat with us, I think I need to fix many things that need you."
The fake carpenter smiled kindly: "I would love to stay, too, but I have many bridges to do and things to fix elsewhere, boy."


 

A lesson in altruism draws from the story: We often let anger push ourselves away from loved ones. Don't let that happen to you. Be generous, forgiving and selfless, appreciate what you have.
Remember that the Past cannot be changed, but the future can. It is not possible just because of quarrels that can ruin a strong connection. Always forgive everyone around you, build your bridges when you need them and always step on them with a smile.
