![]() What Season are You In? The story is told of a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn to not judge things too quickly. So he sent them each to look at a pear tree that was far away. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son, who had seen the tree in winter, said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son, who saw the tree in the spring, said that it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son, who saw the tree in summer, said it was covered with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful. It was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. The youngest son, who saw the tree in fall, disagreed with all of them. He said it was drooping with ripe fruit, full of life and fulfillment. The man then explained to his sons that they were all correct, but they had each seen only one season in the tree's life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season. He said that the essence of who they are - and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from life - can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up. If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, and fulfillment of your fall. Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest. Don't judge a life by one difficult season. -- Author unknown
