Respect the Giver

Respect the Giver

A fruit that falls from the tree can never return; it lies on the ground. Those who appreciate the fruit may pick it up and eat it, while others might ignore it, leaving it to be run over by a vehicle or to dry out on the road. Although the tree knows the fate of the fruit, it never stops yielding new fruit with each season. The tree stands tall and continues its work until it can no longer do so, serving humanity as long as it is strong.

Similarly, some people offer advice, suggestions, and ideas to those around them. Some accept their input, some find it boring, and others may even mock them. Yet, those who choose to share their wisdom do not stop, as long as they are able and healthy.

We should respect those who give without expecting anything in return, just as a tree gives without expecting anything in return. They are rare and bring fresh air with their thoughts, offering ideas that can enrich our lives.

Next time you encounter someone who gives freely of themselves, take the time to listen. Doing so may allow you to enjoy the fruits of their wisdom.

While listening, we may be trying to engage our logical brain to recall our memories and creativity for a response, or we may be accessing our emotional brain to defend ourselves against what is being said. For example, if one person talks about ways another could improve, the listener might offer excuses such as a lack of time, resources, or support. Alternatively, they may bring up personal emotions, like health or family issues. These reactions often occur while the other person is still speaking, leading to a decreased understanding and an increased eagerness to defend one’s position. During this type of conversation, the listener may appear restless, exhibiting a lack of eye contact or head nodding. In such interactions, th...
