Are we doing good?

Hello my dear readers of read.cash. Today I am writing to you in the vein of inspirational posts, it happens that my mind is not yet balanced with the narrative creativity of my fable stories or fantasy tragedies.

In order not to waste any more time I decided to listen to some audios in the evenings and take advantage of some that remind me of my own experiences to write them for you here.

This is an ancient fable story, I think it is about the tales of ancient China, but let's think that it is about some character of our environment.

Apparently there was a time when princes and kings ruled the land, so in one of those castles there was a king who loved butterflies very much. All the time he asked his subjects to give him butterflies so that he would feel very happy.

In his castle garden he had some butterflies, but like every king he wanted them to arrive in greater numbers, but the opposite was happening every time. Less and less butterflies were arriving in his garden every day, the king asked his subjects to bring him many butterflies and so did the people.

The king would keep them for a few days and then set them free so that they would return to nature and to his garden spontaneously… which did not happen. After this, the king asked the wise men of the kingdom why this happened, if the butterflies spent a few days in his garden with his flowers and then were released to return and he did not see them multiply. Moreover, there were now fewer butterflies than before.

The king was, instead of cheerful, very sad and always asked what he was doing wrong,

He spent a long time watching how the butterflies were hunting. He went to the houses of the villagers and saw that they kept them in proper cages so that they would arrive safely in the kingdom. He followed them to where they made their cages and noticed that some of the hunters didn’t know how to do it and instead of hunting them they killed them and at the end of the day there was a carpet of butterflies detached from their body parts and dying… They were of no use to nature or as gifts.

That is why day by day the butterfly population instead of increasing was decreasing due to the bad method used, the old man decided to go to the castle to inform his king of the cause of his sadness.

The king listened to him and was pleased. He already knew what he should do according to the suggestion of the village elder.

The king appealed to the people and made a law that instead of hunting them, they should keep them free. As the village elder told him before long the king had followed the old man's advice and began to notice that his garden became much more colorful and butterflies abounded there.

The king was grateful and nature followed its normal course increasing the number of his butterflies without the hand of man interfering with their normal development.

This, my dear friends, made me think of a personal experience I had. One day I was in the grocery store and an elderly gentleman was trying to pay for his purchases but he swiped several cards and none of them had any money on them. So I was moved and I told the cashier to pass his expenses to my card.

What I hadn't noticed was that the man was buying in addition to what I could see he had tobacco and candles, but I saw this after the guy cashed everything.

I immediately got scared because I thought... what if God was preventing him from buying those things? And I in my intention to help was only spiritually persuaded to help that gentleman to continue his vice or in any case to perform works against my God.

I was thinking and in any of the two situations I helped rather to carry out a sin and I did not help at all to the work of God.

What made me think is that sometimes for wanting to do good, for wanting to help someone who has not even asked for it, we commit sins against the work of God. Everyone has to live their experiences, everyone has a path to follow and sometimes God allows us to go through bad experiences so that we can see which is the best way and learn from our mistakes.

Many times our free will leads us to take wrong paths and when we fall we have to clean ourselves of our bad decisions and only God has the power to make you see the things you have done wrong and how to get out of there purifying your life.

Let us think very well when we decide how to help, who to help and when to help. Because if we are doing wrong it is us with our bad decisions that we must purify ourselves of the bad deeds done.

I hope my dear friends that I have been able to illustrate in a good way the fact of how we benefit or not with our works.

Thank you for your continued support and that of my sponsors. I love you all.
