How can a secret advisor change your life?
The easiest way to explain this is through a story.
During the reign of King Solomon, there was a great drought which affected many cities. One farmer who lived in a distant city, fell into deep difficulties and was no longer able to provide for his wife and one-year-old son. He was forced to leave the city and work in King Solomon’s garden.
When he arrived at the king’s palace, he asked for a job and was accepted as a gardener. During his years of work, the palace official made sure to transfer some of his money to his wife. About 20 years later, the drought passed, and the farmer decided that he wanted to return to his home. He approached the king to receive his full payment.
The king asked him: “What would you like? All your money, half the money and half advice, or just advice?” The farmer thought, King Solomon, the wise of all men, will give me advice? I will accept half the advice and half the money. This is what he asked the king and he answered him: “Whatever you see with your eyes, do not believe it.”
The farmer set out on a journey back to his home and all along the way he tried to figure what King Solomon told him. When the farmer reached the mountain near his village, he saw from a distance his wife hugging and kissing a young man.
The farmer was enraged, pulled out a knife that was in his pocket, ran to his wife and stabbed the young man to death. His wife cried, “You killed your son”. The farmer cried and said: “I had to work for 20 years to understand what King Solomon told me.”
The right advice can save lives.
