GIVE OTHERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN THEMSELVES. NEVER CONCLUDE FOR OTHERS

GIVE OTHERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN THEMSELVES .NEVER CONCLUDE FOR OTHERS
  A  great friend of mine Emmanuel Nwokeocha sent this inspiring and food for thought message to my whatsaap wall  and I would luv to share. Please read on.
  A lovely little girl was holding two apples with both hands. Her mum came in and softly asked her little daughter with a smile; my sweetie, could you give your mum on of the two apples?
 The girl looked up at her mum for some seconds; then she suddenly took a quick bite on one apple, and then quickly on the other. The mum felt the smile on her face freeze. She tried hard not to reveal her disappointment . Then the little girl handed one of her bitten apples to her mum, and said : mummy, here you are .This is the sweeter one.
 No matter who you are, how experienced you are and how knowledgeable you think you are, always delay  judgement. Give others the opportunity to explain themselves. What you see may not be the reality . Never conclude for others .that is why we should never only focus on the surface and judge others without understanding them first.
    Those who like to pay the bill, do so not because they are loaded but because they value friendship above money. Those who take the initiative at work, do so not because they are stupid but because they understand the concept of responsibility . Those who apologize first after a fight, do so not because they are wrong but because they value the people around them. Those who are willing to help you , do so not because they owe you but because the see you as a true friend. Those who often text you , do so not because they have nothing better to do but because you are in their heart. Those who take out time to chat with you, does not mean they are jobless or less busy , but they know the importance of keeping in touch.
   That is why it is wise to Discern one's motive before you act,  Do not make quick and rash judgement before one's motive is being brought to the limelight. Many have lost friends  because they failed to wait patently before they  acted and are still wallowing in the pool of regret because they judged and acted rashly. That is why it is necessary to give others the opportunity to explain or show their motives or intentions themselves. Never conclude for others.
