This is a reflection that I find very beautiful! A rich father, wanting his son to know what it means to be poor, made him spend a day with a peasant family.
The boy spent 3 days and 3 nights in the field.
Back in the city still by car, his father asked him:
What about your experience?
Well, exemplary! - The boy answered.
You learnt something?
If much...
1-. We have a dog and they have four.
2-. That we have a pool with treated water that is no bigger than two bedrooms. They have a river, with crystal clear water, fish and other good things.
3-. That we have electric light in our garden but they have stars and the moon to illuminate them.
4-. That our garden reaches the wall. Yours, to the horizon.
5-. That we buy our food; they grow it, harvest it and cook it.
6-.Let us listen to CDs ... they listen to a continuous symphony of parrots, crickets and other animals ... all this, sometimes accompanied by the song of a neighbor who works the land.
7-. We use the microwave. What they cook tastes over low heat.
8-. That we, to protect ourselves, live surrounded by fences with alarm.. They live with open doors, protected by the friendship of their neighbors.
9-. That we live connected to the telephone, the computer and the television. They are related to life, the sky, the sun, the water, the fields, the animals, their shadows and their families.
The father is very impressed with the feelings of his son.
Finally, the son concludes:
Thank you for showing me how poor we are!
Every day we get poorer because we no longer see the richness of nature!
I share it because it seemed great to me in these times that we live that everyone walks in their world and we forget the small and large details!
