Good morning, friends, this is actually my first post here and I greet you with love, wishing you well from the bottom of my heart. Today I want to share a fantastic story with you that leaves us with a great lesson. I hope you like it.
Patricia is a woman with a great economic position; throughout her life she has worked hard to achieve her goals. Patricia's childhood was very difficult, due to the economic shortages that prevailed in her home; for this reason Patricia resolved in her heart to work efficiently. In everything she undertook, she did very well and is now a wealthy woman.
However, Patricia became an arrogant, despot and selfish woman. Believing herself to be the owner of the world because of the power that her fortune gave her, she began to treat in a derogatory way all those who thought differently from her. Her pride was so high that it reached the exosphere and could be dissipated throughout the galaxy. However, there was a day when she felt the need to cry, she felt a sadness she had never felt before. She was upset because she did not know the cause of this situation and began to converse with some organs of her body.
As her tears slid down her face, she asked them haughtily: "What are you doing here? Who called you here? Why are you so bold as to move across my face? To such a question the tears answered: "We are just doing our job". "Well, I regret to inform you that you are not welcome. Get out of my face. That's an order," Patricia shouted at them..
Tears answered her, "We are very sorry Patricia, but we can't leave until we finish our work." "I want to know who is sending them," Patricia mentioned. "We are obedient to the lacrimal glands and as we already mentioned to you we do our work", the tears answered with determination..
At such an answer, Patricia was furious that they did not obey her and turned to the lacrimal glands. She asked them, "By whose permission have you authorized nasty tears to take over my face?" "We're just doing our job," the glands replied." "Give me a reason why you are sending nefarious tears," Patricia demanded. "We're just doing our job," the glands replied..
I am tired of getting the same answer. There has to be an explanation, I am the owner of my body and I demand an answer. Faced with such a request, the glands suggested that she talk to the sensitive nerves, which had given the order to the brain to send signals so that Patricia could cry. After asking the sensory nerves the reason for this discomfort, they replied, "We are doing our job"..
Patricia was full of anger because she could not find the answer to her questions and ironically she would not stop crying. With arrogance she said: "I am the owner of my body and these organs have become tyrants who do not obey me. I have servants in my house, they do what I tell them but these useless organs do not obey me. I have and will always have dominion over everything, I refuse to accept this situation".
I will speak directly to the brain, it will surely submit to my will. So, with the presumption that characterized her, she turned to the brain and said: "Friend, with your help I have obtained great fortunes, but I see that you are no longer working well for me. If I could I would exchange you for another." "What is the reason for your comment Patricia?" asked the brain. "I have been very sad for days, I have cried a lot and I don't know what the reason is, besides my organs don't obey me, don't even think of telling me that you are doing your job". "I understand Patricia, let me communicate with the limbic system, it will answer you", said the brain.
They referred the problem to the limbic system and the limbic system was surprised. He said: "Patricia knows the answer to this problem, I don't understand why you are asking, she knows the answer". Hearing this Patricia offended him and mentioned that she would never think of wasting her time talking to his useless organs if she knew the answer.
"You know it, but if you want to be told it talk to your conscience," the limbic system replied. In effect, Patricia called her conscience and asked for an explanation. The conscience asked her, "Are you sure you want to hear the answer to this question? Of course I do, Patricia replied..
"You have been a proud, inconsiderate and cruel woman. Ambition has led you to lose your family, you have no friends and you are afraid of losing everything. You do not want to assume that you are mortal like any of your species, you do not want to assimilate that at any moment you will need someone to help you stand up and sit down. You are aware that those who are by your side do it because they need the job, but in reality they see you for what you are, a beggar woman of the soul. All those fears are in your subconscious, because they are so great they have overflowed and your whole body is working to free you from so much terror. That is why you are crying. Understand Patricia, you do not have and never will have mastery over everything. It is the most absurd idea that you have ever wanted to become a reality."
At such words, Patricia broke down in tears and admitted that it was all true. Those fears were present, but she refused to see them. She wanted to continue to believe the lie that she would always be in an advantageous position. Although since then, she tried to change a little, she ended up reaping what she had sown; only that, by recognizing her mistakes, her fall was not so great, because she was able to have a couple of true friends who helped her to cushion the ailments of old age and loneliness.
