A Touching Motivational Short Story

*A TOUCHING AND MOTIVATIONAL SHORT STORY*

There was an aged artist who lived in a small village. The man used to design beautiful artistic works to be sold at attractive prices.

One day, a poor man among the villagers challenged the old man saying: You earn a lot of money from your handiwork but why don't you assist indigent people in the villages.

Cant you see the butcher who is not as  rich as you are, but still shares free meat to the destitute people in the village,everyday.

Also, look at the village baker, a  poor man with a large family, yet he gives the poor people free loaves of bread, daily.

The artist did not respond angrily to the challenges,  rather just smiled calmly.

The poor man was so confused about the reaction of the artist so he left him and went out spreading rumors that the artist was so rich, but he was a stingy person who  only accumulated wealth and  refused to help less priviledged. The entire villagers took vegeance, they broke away from the old artist man and they forsook him.

In a mean time, the aged artist was sick but nobody among the villagers cared to visit him, therefore, the man died alone.

The days passed by, the villagers observed that the butcher stoped free distribution of meat and the baker could not give the destitute people free loaves of bread any more, despite their continous trooping to the bakery and their hope to have something to eat.

When both (the  butcher and the baker) were asked the reason behind the sudden cut off of the welfare to the villagers, they said that: " the elderly artist who used to donate a large sum of money every month to share free meat and loaves of bread to the poor people in the village has died, so the welfare has to stop."

Actually, many people may have wrong impression about you while others may have diffrent opinions, none of them could benefit nor harm your good intentions.
Therefore, dont pass jugdment on any one based on his physical appearance. There are things about his personal life, if you were priviledged to know,  your judgement would surely be different.

 Human physical appearance is a deception, therefore, forgive, pardon and ignore people's iniquities.
