- 0:00To family. The moment of reflection. He' s here. Reflections with
- 0:11their own style, not sermons, reflections, as I said in some episodes
- 0:17ago and seasons ago, as when I convert with you in the room of
- 0:22the House and we speak in a very particular and very human way. That
- 0:25' s the mural of the soul. Welcome to one more episode. Thank
- 0:28you for the reference, for the support that allows that podcast to move forward.
- 0:33How so I support Fernando. I have to give something, I have
- 0:36to give some money in no way. Mr Ma' am, your reproduction
- 0:41and dissemination with family friends with whomever you want allows us to continue with this
- 0:48and is free of charge. On Facebook, on YouTube and on all podcast
- 0:50platforms they find us as the mural of the soul. Greetings, I'
- 0:54m your amphitron. My name David Fernando Higuera here ready to reflect with you,
- 0:59teach and teach myself also because we all learn good. Tolerance in the
- 1:11midst of differences is part of today' s theme of reflection, a story
- 1:15that says more or less like this, a traveler in Germany saw a singular
- 1:21thing in a fonda where he stayed. After the meal, the owner placed
- 1:29on the floor a large bowl of broth and whistle. In a special way.
- 1:38These guests came to the room to hear that a big dog and a
- 1:45big rat, a cat and a crow were summoned. Please do me the
- 1:51guests. You say no, because you' re going to invite the neighbor
- 1:53to the family. He did not invite a large dog and rat, a
- 1:59cat and a body all these animals approached the bowl and without bothering each other,
- 2:06peacefully, ate together. Then, the dog, the cat, and
- 2:15the rat lay near the light, while the crow leaped everywhere. The owner
- 2:23of the house had disciplined these animals in such a way that none harmed any
- 2:30other. If a dog, a crow, a cat, and a rat
- 2:37can live together at the base of this story, then it is possible for
- 2:40people to live together and bother one another. I explain this illustration that gives
- 2:47me the opportunity to reflect today. It' s impressive that they were eating
- 3:00four different animals that could perfectly grip each other and told me to rip,
- 3:07eat peril until I saw blood, a dog and a rat, a cat
- 3:14and a crow ate together from the same dish, the same broth. And
- 3:17then each one, for about three of those animals, near a bonfire,
- 3:24a chimney and the raven, for hovering around, then a reflection that teaches
- 3:32us this, each one of us, as human beings, is one hundred
- 3:38percent different. Each with different ways of being, with different characters and sometimes
- 3:50it is difficult to deal with certain people. That one says is that better
- 3:55said it makes me lose my patience and the other personality as I said,
- 4:02like the title of a reflection is that I do not have patience. I
- 4:06recommend you go and see in that episode. I think it' s in
- 4:10video format. They can also see it in all media, looking for us
- 4:14as the mural of the soul is that they have no patience. It'
- 4:15s called that one, but as soon as I finish this one. Of
- 4:17course, then, as far as possible, let us take each other in
- 4:24peace. That is what the Bible says and it is an invitation to tolerance
- 4:30and respect for what the other person is like. There are people who are
- 4:35very proactive, but others who are very slow. You have to love them
- 4:40both equally, because they are the characters of each person is the definition of
- 4:44human being and person of each person. Then the Lord teaches us tolerance.
- 4:49Now Jesus himself is an example of that. In what sense he loves us
- 4:55all equally. He doesn' t have favorites. He loves us all in
- 5:01the same way and he knows us in this way, it is simple and
- 5:04simple. He knows us and he watches this. He does have patience for
- 5:11us. You see x person of x characteristics with whom we comment something and
- 5:23like I don' t know how to say it, we want it to
- 5:28do something, we want it to be early and it doesn' t and
- 5:32it kind of makes us lose patience or not. We get the message right
- 5:33and we lose patience and despair. You have to love that person as it
- 5:40is why, because simply and simply, in the midst of those issues that
- 5:45for us are weaknesses, but you have very nice, very interesting skills,
- 5:50so we must learn to live with people. There are people who get the
- 5:57temper out of us. Tell me if not, but we must have that
- 6:03tolerance of loving all people to the extent possible. That is why the apostle
- 6:10Paul said it in one of his writings that, as far as possible,
- 6:13depending on each one. Let us be at peace with everyone, let us
- 6:18have harmony, let us have peace with people why, because there are people
- 6:24of all styles. You imagine that all people were in your image and likeness
- 6:28how boring the world would be. Or that everyone was like me, not
- 6:34that the world would be boring. In variety is the pleasure says the well
- 6:40- known saying and I want to add something to the variety, for it
- 6:45is rich to live in this world that you and I find different things that,
- 6:49in the midst of those differences make the world make sense then the importance
- 6:56of living in community. Yes, for example, in the resident group.
- 7:03Oh, my God, sir, I' m going to get into the
- 7:09residential complex, where I live, as in any residential complex that that in
- 7:15Colombian law is called horizontal property. It' s that kind of house where
- 7:23there are towers and every tower has a certain number of floors. For example,
- 7:27in the tower of the whole where I live, each tower is composed
- 7:30of five floors, five floors and I am living in the middle of that
- 7:38tower, third floor. And it just so happens that the support material the
- 7:47towers have is not brick. It' s block is similar to brick,
- 7:54but it' s a hollow material that goes through that hollow material. Be
- 7:59it, then, that the sounds from outside appear as they please. It
- 8:03' s quite possible that my neighbor downstairs is listening to me talking while I
- 8:09' m recording this episode. Well, suddenly that person feels built first hand.
- 8:16I wouldn' t be surprised. But on top of me I have
- 8:22a particularity and it is that the neighbor, in some moments I assume that
- 8:30because of her work as an artist makes noises Hammer drill, when she makes
- 8:39breakfast, it is noticed from here, when she discusses with her children,
- 8:46it is heard here, when the children play and flutter and shout and cry,
- 8:52It is heard here, as it is possibly happening, although the microphone,
- 8:58which I have to reject better, the environmental noises, is not noticed.
- 8:58And aside the post- priroduction work. But what am I going to
- 9:03do even though you are neighbors who say oh my God, but you have
- 9:09to be tolerant to a certain extent, because if you already get a point
- 9:15and you understand me, you who suddenly live in these conditions of horizontal property,
- 9:18you say to see I try to be good to people, but you
- 9:22already come to the point where you refuse the Cup. I have to go
- 9:24up there and say," Listen to your neighbor" Excuse me, you
- 9:26' re making noise very early. I could stop. Please, I need
- 9:31to sleep so I can get up early, so I can get to work.
- 9:33I could help myself with that. Well, there he is and talking.
- 9:37People are understood from respect and tolerance, because, yes, you have
- 9:43to avoid something, fights, arguments, even fights that go even to your
- 9:48hands. That must be avoided as far as possible now to maximum or maximum
- 9:54a discussion, because we have different ideas and it is counterverted. It'
- 10:01s not part of a debate. This doesn' t mean. This of
- 10:07living in harmony and peace and tolerating the differences of others. It does not
- 10:11mean that when ideas have to be put forward, they are debated, discussed
- 10:15and put on the table and put on balance and see where we are going.
- 10:18But when the thing is already bordering on the extreme, then it must
- 10:22be made relevant, with respect, with tolerance and always, always to that
- 10:28extent of respect, respecting differences. Each of us is different. God made
- 10:33us different and we must learn to accept differences in order to live in harmony
- 10:41and peace. As far as possible. Go back and repeat what Paul the
- 10:43Apostle said, as far as you are concerned, insofar as it depends on
- 10:48you, as far as possible, be at peace with all. If a
- 10:52dog, a crow, a cat, and a rat can live together,
- 10:58people may live together without bothering each other. Tolerance, acceptance of differences.
- 11:05When an idea has to be discussed, it is done with respect, but
- 11:09always keeping that tolerance and mutual respect for the differences that each of us has.
- 11:18My name, Luis Fernando Guera. It ends in today' s episode.
- 11:20Thanks for joining me. I invite you to the next one to join
- 11:24us in writing here on the mural of the soul.
