The Parable Of The Siblings With Rusty Spoons
How The Things We Carry May Be The Source Of Our Problems
There was once were two young children who lived in a poor village.
They each had been given a spoon by their parents, who had passed away.
They used their spoons for everything.
They used the spoons to eat...
To play...
To dig in their village...
But over time...
The Spoons began to become a different color...
The children did not understand what this meant...
But it was rusting.
They did not care about the changes that happened to the spoons...
It was still something they cherished.
But the children began to experience problems.
The rusty spoons sometimes cut their skin...
Which would lead to pain in their muscles...
And their Jaws and Throats to tighten.
They did not understand what was happening...
But they were being impacted by Teatnus.
A visitor came to the village and saw these two children.
The visitor saw what was happening...
And wanted to help.
The visitor went up to the children...
To tell them...
The spoons were the source of their pain.
Both children listened...
But they took away very different things.
One child did not trust the visitor...
They were not from the village...
They were not their parents...
They did not understand how important the spoons were.
The other child listened...
And wondered.
What if the visitor was right?
They cherished the spoon from their parents...
But if it was the source of their pain...
Could there be a better way?
The visitor gave both children a brand new spoon...
And told the children that if they wanted more help, the children could seek out the visitor.
Both children took the spoons and walked away.
When the visitor was no longer in sight...
The children discussed.
The first child immediately threw away the new spoon.
They were certain in their beliefs...
The visitor was not to be trusted...
And nothing they had could provide therefore be trusted.
The second child asked the question...
What if the visitor was right?
Should they immediately dismiss the visitor?
Wouldn’t a life with fewer problems be worth at least considering?
The first child yelled at the second...
How could the second child consider this?
These spoons were from their parents!
Wouldn’t their parents know if these spoons could cause problems?
Would their parents have given them the spoons if the spoons could become a source of pain?
Their parents would never do that!
The second child asked...
What if their parents didn’t know it could happen?
What if there is more that we do not understand?
But the first child would not listen...
And gave the second child an ultimatum...
You’re either with me or against me.
The second child was with them, of course, but also wanted to see if, perhaps, the visitor was right.
The first child would hear no more of it and abandoned their sibling in response.
The second child began to use the new spoon...
And discovered that eventually, their problems disappeared.
The second child sought out the visitor after that to see what else the visitor might be able to teach.
Over time, the visitor helped the second child understand the world in new ways, and the child became very healthy.
The first child continued to suffer...
To struggle...
To grow in resentment...
And remained unhealthy.
Once the second child had learned much, they wanted to return to their sibling and show them what was possible.
The second child eventually found the first...
And saw the horrible condition that they fell into.
The first child looked at the second...
And could barely recognize them.
The second child pleaded with the first to follow them...
To have a better life...
To no longer have to suffer.
But the second child still dismissed the first...
Saying, you’ve changed.
The first child ran again.
The second child searched, but was never able to find their sibling again after that.
Eventually, the first child perished from their infections...
Suffering and in pain.
The second child went on, saddened, but working toward a better life...
And using what they learned to try to help as many others as they could.
Just as these two children carried rusty spoons...
Often, there are things that we carry in our own lives.
Identities.
Beliefs.
Traditions.
Expectations.
More.
What are the things that you are carrying?
Are they truly serving you?
Or should you consider...
Is there a better Way to live out our lives?

I have watched many people over the years…
Stuff their faces with rusty and infected spoons.
Always asking why their lives were filled with challenges.
And…
I have frequently seen that when the spoon is pointed out as the problem…
They refuse to acknowledge it…
Or refuse to do anything about it.
It is painful to see…
Especially when clean spoons are freely given.
So, how do we avoid this fate?
