00:00:00.001 --> 00:00:03.698
This is a really good story
2
00:00:03.723 --> 00:00:06.825
which my grandfather
told me about once.
3
00:00:06.978 --> 00:00:14.519
And it's about a man
who was very disorganized
4
00:00:14.634 --> 00:00:17.283
and had bad habits.
5
00:00:17.405 --> 00:00:22.120
He didn't clean the house
and left the dishes
6
00:00:22.206 --> 00:00:27.710
and everything was dirty
and very bad in his house.
7
00:00:27.856 --> 00:00:31.405
So nobody ever came to his house
8
00:00:31.430 --> 00:00:35.542
and he didn't have any relationship.
9
00:00:35.775 --> 00:00:38.659
Then one day he met a lady
10
00:00:38.684 --> 00:00:42.619
and he started falling in love
with that lady
11
00:00:42.711 --> 00:00:45.529
and she gave him a rose
12
00:00:45.700 --> 00:00:48.616
and he brought that rose home
13
00:00:48.671 --> 00:00:52.979
and he wanted to put that rose
in a nice clean vase
14
00:00:53.004 --> 00:00:55.758
because it was given to him
by somebody
15
00:00:55.925 --> 00:01:00.330
who he cared for and she cared for.
16
00:01:00.887 --> 00:01:05.144
So he found a vase
and he washed it and cleaned it
17
00:01:05.169 --> 00:01:10.245
and he found that it was good
on the dining table
18
00:01:10.270 --> 00:01:13.788
but the table was so full of dirt
19
00:01:13.813 --> 00:01:16.397
so he started cleaning the table,
20
00:01:16.422 --> 00:01:19.708
and then he found the table
was very clean
21
00:01:19.733 --> 00:01:22.145
and the rest of the room
was bad.
22
00:01:22.264 --> 00:01:25.610
And so one thing led to another
and eventually he cleaned up
23
00:01:25.635 --> 00:01:31.289
his whole house but just
because of one rose.
24
00:01:31.465 --> 00:01:37.441
The moral of that story
as Grandfather told me was love.
25
00:01:37.559 --> 00:01:43.309
It was love that compelled him
to change his habit
26
00:01:43.334 --> 00:01:45.368
and change his home.
27
00:01:45.521 --> 00:01:49.811
But if we go and criticize the person
28
00:01:49.836 --> 00:01:55.013
and said "you're a dirty person
and you don't take care of yourself"
29
00:01:55.038 --> 00:01:59.902
and so on, and then that person
just gets more and more dirty
30
00:01:59.927 --> 00:02:02.815
and he doesn't care about anything.
31
00:02:02.917 --> 00:02:08.179
So love can transform people
when criticism can't.
