Check the story below:
A man had a wife and a mistress and he didnโt know who to choose. He decided to go see a wise man to find an answer to his problem. He asked him if he had to be with his wife or mistress.
The wise, looked at him and took two pots in his hands, one with a rose and the other with a cactus and asked him:
โWhat do you do if I tell you to choose one of these two pots?โ
The man looked at him and replied: โObviously I choose the rose!โ
The wise smiles: โYou proved that you were reckless and rushed. You donโt deserve any of the two pots. Neither the one containing the rose nor the one with a cactus.โ
Some men, driven by beauty and socializing, choose what seems to shine most. The rose is beautiful but withers soon. However, the cactus, even though it is not very beautiful at first sight remains the same, whatever the climate. Dark green with so many thorns but when bloom offers you a beautiful flower.
Your wife knows all your weaknesses, flaws and mistakes and loves you for what you are. Your mistress doesnโt want you whole but just the beautiful part, your smiles, victories, joy, caresses.
Your wife loves your tears, your defeats. Sheโs beside you for better and for worse. When the difficult times arrive, your mistress will go away and look for someone else. Your wife will stay by your side. Donโt look now that everything looks good. Things wonโt go that long. Itโs too late for you.
You despised the cactus to get the rose and you donโt deserve either. But know that the time will come when you understand your mistake, but it will be too late.
