The Parable of Perfection
Two farmers, resting under a duhat tree after a long day of work, engage in a philosophical conversation about the apparent imperfections in nature. One farmer believes that God's creations are perfect, while the other questions the logic behind them. Through a playful incident, they learn a valuable lesson about honesty and the hidden perfection in nature.
The sun was high, casting a warm glow over the rice fields where two farmers toiled. They finished their morning chores and headed for the shade of the duhat tree, seeking rest. As they unpacked their lunch, the first farmer remarked on the perfection of nature. But the second farmer, filled with doubt, questioned this notion. " - Why do you think everything is perfect?" the second farmer asked. " - Because all is created by God," the first farmer replied.
The second farmer pondered the squash's large fruit held by a weak vine. " - Doesn't it seem odd that such a big fruit grows on a small vine?" he wondered aloud. " - Maybe that's just how it's meant to be," the first farmer suggested. The second farmer shook his head, unconvinced. He felt there was a flaw in this design, a hint of imperfection that troubled him deeply. " - It's not right," he finally declared.
As they continued their conversation, the second farmer pointed to the duhat tree. " - See this massive tree with tiny fruits?" he said. " - It's another sign of imperfection!" The first farmer laughed, shrugging off the concern. " - Perhaps there's a reason we don't understand," he suggested. " - But what if there isn't?" the second farmer pressed, frustration growing.
The second farmer felt overwhelmed by his unanswered questions and considered giving up. " - Maybe I'm just chasing shadows," he sighed, feeling defeated. " - Don't give up," the first farmer encouraged. " - Sometimes answers come when we least expect them." Despite the reassurance, the second farmer's doubts lingered. He lay back under the tree, staring up at the vast canopy of leaves.
As they rested, a small duhat fruit fell from the tree, landing on the second farmer's nose. " - Ouch!" he exclaimed, startled by the surprise. The first farmer chuckled, " - Imagine if it had been a squash!" In that moment, the second farmer realized the wisdom in nature's design. " - Maybe there's more perfection than I thought," he conceded. " - Sometimes, it takes a little nudge to see it," the first farmer smiled.
The second farmer sat up, a newfound understanding settling in. " - I see now," he said, gratitude in his voice. " - Maybe everything has its perfect place and purpose." The first farmer nodded, satisfied with their shared discovery. " - Honesty with ourselves helps us see the truth," he said wisely. They both stood, ready to return to their work with lighter hearts and a deeper appreciation for nature's subtle perfection.
