Empathy toward others' situations, the show of, kindness…translated…
On Sunday, my nephew in middle school came over, he saw the illegally parked sedan next to my home, told me that we should, report it, I'd told him, "definitely not, although the car is illegally parked on the red, but there's the reason that's worth noting behind it: the owner of this car would bring the week's worth of groceries home to his sixty-three-year-old severely handicapped younger sister and the hired nurse. The owner of the vehicle kept the promise he'd made to his elderly parents, to care for his own younger sister. He'd elderly too, and just, needed a convenience spot to unload the goods." My nephew nodded, and understood, that the man wasn't doing it on purpose, that he is a man, who loved his family, a good, man.
Later that afternoon, there came the smell of smoke, and the smoke that came in through my window, the nearby farmers were burning the hays. And my nephew inquired again, if he should call the environmental offices to report the air-pollution. I'd told him, "no, it's not necessary, just close the windows! The elderly farmer is hard at work in his field, come rain or shine, and the weeds grew faster than his, crops, he has too much work to do in the fields." After my telling him, my nephew recited a poem to me: with the hoe under the midday sun, the sweat fell onto the soils, and nobody knows, how hard the farmers work, to grow the rice that we consumed.
There are too many trials, and not enough joys in the world, everybody has a different path to walk. Toward everything we encounter in the world, I will empathize, with my heart of mercy, my tolerance, to love my, neighbors.
The empathy for others, being tolerant toward those who live around us, is what we lacked these days, and, this woman used her understanding, her empathy, to teach her nephew, that even IF we have the reasons, we need to be, empathetic of others' situations.
