One man, bought a pine tree for his kids, then he decided to have a drink in the tavern for the good turn. The alcohol in his blood made him lurch along the street, from one sidewalk to the other.A group of cheered up young people, going across him, started to discuss him:
-He-he! See this guy knocking around the street. This sidewalk is his, but he's not giving the other one to anybody too.
Offended by their attitude, the man replied:
-What are you talking about? I want to see how would you walk if you are in such a thick pine wood!

I am telling you this joke, so we can look at the things we are doing. I will try to give you a hint:
- we want a reward, no matter what - moral or material - for everything we do, even for buying a little tree, which will bring joy to our own kids.
- we look at our own attitude and point of view and wonder that in front of us there is a „huge thick pine wood" and not a straight road.
- we can't find ourselves on the dark roads of life and we don't realize that these are not dark roads but the pine tree of our own world view and attitude.
- wandering about in a daze caused by our own egocentricity and self-esteem that we wanted, achieved and strengthened, we can't find the right way even if it is lying in front of us - straight and clear.
- when someone reveals the truth to us, we don't think weather or not he is right, we immediately take offense by his words. Even more - we are ready to present our own pine tree - our thoughts, doubts and prejudices, as it is an entire pine wood.
- and at the end, through this exaggeration we want to find an excuse. But you would lose yourself in this pine wood too, wouldn't you?

Advice:
Let's throw the pine tree of our own doubts, attitude and mistrust and
take the broad road of the positive thinking
