EVIDENCE: WISDOM COMES WITH EXPERIENCE

This is a fictional story, where the boss gives three pieces of advice to his employee who left his
house and his wife for more than 20 years and now wants to return. The boss gave him three
advices, reminding him that: "If I give you the advice, I don't give you the money from your
settlement." And the employee replied: "I want the tips." The boss then told him:

1. NEVER TAKE SHORTCUTS IN YOUR LIFE. Shorter and unknown paths can cost you your life.

2. NEVER BE CURIOUS OF WHAT REPRESENTS EVIL, because curiosity about evil can be
fatal.

3. NEVER MAKE DECISIONS IN MOMENTS OF HATRED AND PAIN, because you can repent
too late.

After the first day of travel, he met a person who greeted him and asked him: "Where are you
going?" He replied: 'I am going to a very distant place. The person then told him: "Sir, this road is
very long, I know a shortcut with which you will arrive in a few days." The happy man began to
walk along the shortcut, when he remembered the first advice, then he moved away from that
shortcut and continued on the normal path again. Days later he found out about another traveler
who had taken the shortcut, they robbed him, beat him and stole all his clothes. In an inn, at dawn
he got up scared when he heard a terrifying scream, he went to the door to go where he heard the
scream. but he remembered the second piece of advice. “NEVER BE CURIOUS OF WHAT
REPRESENTS EVIL BECAUSE CURIOSITY ABOUT EVIL CAN BE FATAL”. He came back and
went to sleep. At dawn, the owner of the inn asked him if he hadn't heard a scream and he
answered yes. The owner replied: You have been lucky, because at night a rogue woman stalks
us, who screams horribly and when the guest goes out to find out what is happening, she kills him,
robs him, and then disappears. The young man continued his long journey, anxious to get home.

After many days and nights of walking, he saw smoke coming out of the chimney of his small
house among the trees, he walked and saw the silhouette of his wife and managed to see that she
was not alone, he saw that she had on her legs, a man whose hair he was stroking. His heart was
filled with hate and bitterness and he decided to run to meet the two to kill them without mercy,
when he remembered the third piece of advice. "NEVER MAKE DECISIONS IN MOMENTS OF
HATE AND PAIN, BECAUSE YOU MAY REPENT TOO LATE". Then he stopped and reflected, he
decided to sleep right there that night and the next day make a decision. At dawn, already with a
cool head, he decided to go back to the boss and ask him to accept him back. But first, I want to
tell my wife that I was always faithful to her.

He knocks on the door of the house and his wife opens it, she recognizes him and hugs him
affectionately. He tries to get her off him, but he can't. Then, with tears in her eyes, she tells him: "I
was faithful to you and you betrayed me..." She, frightened, replies: How? I never betrayed you, I
waited for you for twenty years. He then asked her: And who was that man you caressed yesterday
afternoon? And she replied: "THAT MAN IS OUR SON". When you left, I discovered I was
pregnant. Today he is twenty years old.
