Never Criticize

By Ronak Singhal

Once there was a man who lived in a town. He had a beautiful house and there was a big space outside his house, so he decided to plant a garden with beautiful flowers and plants. There were many stray animals in that town, so he bought a dog to protect his garden from them.

One day he saw that the dog was running around the garden. Thinking the dog is trying to destroy plants, the man shouts at the dog for his act. The next day again he saw that the dog was running around. Thinking the dog is again trying to destroy plants, he shouts at the dog. This goes on for quite a few days.

The next day, the man chained the dog, so that he did not try to destroy the garden. After some time, when the man went out into the garden, he saw a cat running around and had destroyed many of his plants. On that day the man realized that the dog was not trying to destroy his garden, he was chasing the cat away who was trying to do the same.

The moral here is never to criticize anyone without knowing the intentions of that person. That person might be doing things with good intentions, but, we may take it in the wrong way.
