A Little Parable.

A Story Of Compassion:
Imagine Truth as the purest life giving water in existence that will quench any thirst regardless.
A Lover was out walking one day and came upon a young man coughing from a parched throat.
In the young mans hands is a bottle of vinegar, (untruth) and he cannot figure out how to open the bottle to drink from it.
So he asks the Lover if he could open the bottle because he is dying of thirst.
The Lover will tell him that what he wants to drink from may look like water but it’s vinegar, and it will only cause more thirst.
The Lover offers to take him to the well where the water is in unlimited supply and where thirst will no longer be experienced again.
Yet the young man shudders in horror because he feels the Lover is hurtful and has no compassion because the Lover will not assist him in drinking from a bottle of vinegar.
The young man will insist it is water and even demand and try to manipulate the Lover to assist him with every tool of their beliefs such as guilt, false pride, and so on.
Yet the Lover will not waver, for he understands the seduction of vinegar and how it can masquerade as water and do more harm than good.
Even though the young man will carry on with his antics of suffering and knowing the young man will complain to others of the lack of compassion, the Lover will still be unwavering for the Lover knows the beauty of highest good.
Please understand the Beloved celebrates uniqueness and will respect uniqueness, yet uniqueness insisting on drinking vinegar for a few seconds of relief, only to be followed by an even greater thirst will not helpful.
True Love will never sell anyone’s True Nature so cheaply as a few seconds of untruthful worthiness.
Yet if that is the choice of the young man, such is the nature of free will that will sometimes sell their soul to the devil for a nickel of vinegar so to speak.
Lovers can reveal all the properties of water, they can direct you to the well and how to draw from the well, yet it is you that must listen, get up and learn how to draw the water from the well.
Then you can always drink at your leisure and thirst no more.
What is the compassion of the Samaritan you seek?
Is it the one that will succumb to your labels of silliness and help you drink vinegar, or the one that will stand unwaveringly to provide you pure water?
Ironically understandable is it not, and yet a very tough choice for some because so much of their personal value was dependent on the vinegar being water.
Such are the proud walls that surrounds the ignorance that is so resigned to being thirsty, that it will place a false value on the intensity of their thirst.
