In a heartwarming encounter, a rich man met an old man enduring the cold. When the rich man offered to get him a warm coat, the old man declined, saying, “I don’t, but I’m used to it.” The rich man, moved by this, promised to bring the coat but forgot. The next morning, he rushed to fulfill his promise, but sadly, the old man had succumbed to the cold.
The old man left a note, teaching a valuable lesson: “When I didn’t have thick clothes, I had the strength to fight the cold because I was used to it. But when you promised to help me, I attached myself to your promise, and that took my strength to resist.”
This touching story reminds us of a crucial moral lesson: “Promise nothing, never, not even love, if you can’t keep your promise. For you, it may not mean anything, but it could mean everything to someone else.”
