Grandmother responded admirably when the upset woman revealed to her that her husband had cheated on her.
It’s not uncommon for life to be challenging at times, requiring us to confront issues and confide in those we love and trust to help us feel less alone.
When a woman found out her husband was having an extramarital affair, her entire life fell apart. She went to speak with and give an explanation to her grandmother.
The elderly woman responded, “Come with me into the kitchen and observe.” There, she filled three pots to the brim with boiling water and added an egg, a carrot, and some coffee beans.
The woman’s grandmother advised her to have patience despite her confusion. Not too long afterward, she instructed her granddaughter to remove the carrot from the water and clarify the effects of the water on the vegetable.
In response, the granddaughter said that although it hardened the egg, it weakened the carrot’s root. The coffee beans in the third pot were the ones who altered the water.
Then the grandma asked her to choose between the coffee beans, the carrot, and the egg to see which one she was. Sometimes facing challenges in life softens us and makes us more tolerant and adaptable. At other times, it fortifies and strengthens us.
But if we make the decision to be a coffee bean, we try our hardest to improve ourselves and alter circumstances to better fit us. We do not allow outside factors to affect us.
That day, the woman gained invaluable knowledge.
