In one hot summer i and all of my little friends are playing in the school field. Our teacher came up with a box full of delicious ice creams for all of us. She came in front of us and offers the treat, we went running and started to make a circle around the teacher, pushing and pulling each other. We screamed I want it! some says i want it first, other boy claimed i came here first so i get it before every body. I joined too, with my whining and complaining voice that i saw the teacher coming first so i get it first. A fight broke out, we all want it, some kids in the group were standing polite and waiting patiently for the treat, looking above at the face of the teacher. I see their face shining with the beaming light of joy! How calm and quiet they are! waiting with a smile on their face. Shame on me! How impatient i am that i didn't even wait for my turn and how uncivilized i am i didn't even discipline myself to form a line and wait! Instead of having trust in the teacher, seeing it with my own eyes that she brought the treats for us SO EVERYONE will get for sure, i whined that i deserve it even before every body because i have seen the teacher first! My soul, when will you realize that having faith in the giver, and believing in your efforts come first! when will you know that you will GET if only you can train yourself to practice patience and not feeding the heart with instant gratification. My soul! When will you learn?
