The Magic of Honorableness: A Lesson from a Past Memory

Dear friends, I’d like to share a story with you today. A story that, like a magician’s trick, may seem simple on the surface, but holds a profound lesson beneath. It’s a tale from my youth, a time when I attended a magic show that taught me the value of honorableness.

The Magic Show

It was a small town affair, nothing grand or flashy. The magician, a man of humble appearance, was a master of his craft. He dazzled us with his tricks, pulling rabbits out of hats, making coins disappear, and even sawing a woman in half. But the real magic, I discovered, was not in his tricks, but in his character.

The Incident

During the show, a young boy, eager to learn the magician’s secrets, snuck backstage. He was caught, of course. The magician could have easily punished the boy, but instead, he did something unexpected. He invited the boy to become his apprentice, to learn the art of magic from him.

The Lesson

This act of kindness, of understanding, taught me a valuable lesson about honorableness. The magician could have reacted with anger or disdain, but he chose to act with compassion and understanding. He saw the boy’s curiosity not as a threat, but as a potential to nurture.

Honorableness, my friends, is not about being perfect. It’s about acting with integrity, even when no one is watching. It’s about treating others with respect and kindness, even when they may not deserve it. It’s about being the best version of ourselves, not for recognition or reward, but simply because it’s the right thing to do.

So, let’s strive to be like the magician in our own lives. Let’s choose honorableness, even when it’s easier to choose otherwise. Because, in the end, the real magic is not in the tricks we perform, but in the lives we touch.

Until next time, remember: the magic is in you.

Yours truly,
