Hispaliterario||Un Nuevo Placer de Benevolencia|| A New Pleasure Of Benevolence [Esp. / Eng.]
Spanish
A medida que pasa el tiempo, el Sr. Robert sigue sumando dólares a dólares, casas a casas y autos a autos. Sin embargo, nunca ha estado satisfecho con todas sus posesiones, que parecen tan pequeñas en comparación con la riqueza del mundo. A medida que crecía, le dio valor a lo que tenía como un medio para ganar más.
Su madre, una verdadera mujer, percibiendo la inclinación fuerte, egoísta y acumulativa de su carácter, buscó de todas las formas posibles inculcar en su mente sentimientos de benevolencia y respeto por los demás. Uno de los enfoques que usó fue llevarlo a ver a personas pobres o enfermas e interesarlo tanto en ellos como para crear un deseo en su mente de brindar alivio.
Ella percibió este deseo como despertado, e ideó algún modo de ponerlo en actividad para que él pudiera sentir las delicias que brotan de la conciencia de haber hecho bien a otro.
Pero a medida que inclinaba su mente más y más intensamente hacia la acumulación de dinero, estos sentimientos tenían cada vez menos influencia sobre él. “Sálvese quien pueda” se convirtió en el principio rector de su vida, y actuó en consecuencia en todas las ocasiones.
La vida continuaba y el Sr.
Robert estaba siempre ocupado reuniendo el deseo de su corazón dorado, tan ocupado que no tenía tiempo para nada más, ni siquiera para disfrutar de lo que poseía. Tenía sesenta (60) años y su riqueza se extendía a muchos cientos de miles de dólares. Pero estaba más lejos que nunca de estar satisfecho.
Sucedió por esta época que Robert tuvo ocasión de alejarse algunas millas del campo. Al regresar a casa, su carruaje se volcó y tuvo una fractura en una extremidad, que ocurrió cerca de una casa de campo, el granjero Sr. Godson al ver el accidente corrió para ayudar al Sr. Robert. Al ver lo herido que estaba, lo bajó. a su casa, buscó un médico y descubrió que se había roto la pierna derecha.
Se quedó un tiempo para mejorar antes de regresar a su ciudad y agradeció al Sr. Godson y su esposa por su generosa hospitalidad. También les ofreció una gran cantidad de dólares, pero el Sr. Godson rechazó la oferta y dijo: "Esto es lo que se espera de mí como ser humano".
Después de unos meses de recuperación, el Sr. Robert continuó con su negocio y un corredor se le acercó y le preguntó si estaría interesado en comprar una finca bien cultivada. Como hombre de negocios, se interesó, y en el proceso de la discusión, el corredor dijo: “Pobre ahijado”. Inmediatamente, el Sr. Robert se sintió intrigado por el nombre y pidió más información sobre el Sr. Ahijado, y se dio cuenta de que era el mismo Ahijado que le salvó la vida.
El hombre que había sido tan egoísta se encontró finalmente detenido por el pensamiento de otro mientras buscaba una ventaja monetaria. El interés de otro se levantó en él y comenzó a pensar cómo su ahijado y su esposa le salvaron la vida, aunque rechazaron el regalo en efectivo, comenzó a preocuparse por la situación
Mientras Godson está devastado y preocupado por la granja, recibió una visita sorpresa de Jenny,
“¿Qué pasa, amigo mío? Pareces preocupada”, preguntó Jenny.
"Estoy en problemas", respondió Godson sin dudarlo.
"¿Cuál es el problema?" Jenny preguntó
“Perdí mi granja por una hipoteca”.
"¡Oh, no!
“No se preocupe, mi buen amigo”, dijo el Sr. Robert. “Me prestaste un servicio en mi momento de necesidad, y ahora está en mi poder devolvértelo. La granja sigue siendo tuya; Tengo la hipoteca.
Mientras conducía de regreso a la ciudad, reflexionó sobre lo que había hecho y recordó el deleite en el rostro de Godson, su corazón cojeando por emociones nuevas y felices.
Habiéndose permitido mirar a otro con desinterés, ese interés continuó. Muchos de estos actos fueron aceptados y el Sr. Robert se dio cuenta de que es más bendecido dar que recibir. Encontró en los últimos años de su vida un nuevo placer: El placer de la benevolencia.

As time passes, Mr. Robert keeps adding dollars to dollars, houses to houses, and cars to cars. Yet he has never been satisfied with all his possessions, which look so small compared with the wealth of the world. As he grew older, he placed value on what he had as a means of gaining more.
His mother, a true woman, perceiving the strong, selfish, and accumulative bent of his character, sought in every possible way to implant in his mind feelings of benevolence and regard for others. One of the approaches she used was to take him to see poor or sick people and so interest him in them as to create a desire in his mind to afford relief.
She perceived this desire as awakened, and she devised some mode of bringing it into activity so that he might feel the delights that spring from a consciousness of having done well to another.
But as he bent his mind more and more earnestly toward the accumulation of money, these feelings had less and less influence over him. “Every Man for himself” became the leading principle of his life, and he acted upon it on all occasions.
Life went on, and Mr. Robert was ever busy gathering his golden heart's desire, so busy that he had no time for anything else, not even to enjoy what he possessed. He was sixty (60) years old, and his wealth extended to many hundreds of thousands of dollars. But he was farther from being satisfied than ever
It happened about this time that Robert had occasion to go some miles from the country. On returning home, his carriage was overturned, and he had a fracture on his limb, which occurred near a farmhouse, Farmer Mr. Godson, seeing the accident, ran over to help Mr. Robert Seeing how injured he was, he rode him down to his house, got a physician, and discovered he had broken his right leg.
He stay for some time to get better before he returned to his town and appreciated Mr. Godson and his wife for their generous hospitality. He also offered them a whopping amount of dollars but Mr. Godson declined the offer and said, “ This is what is expected of me to do as a human being.”
After a few months of recovery, Mr. Robert continued his business, and a broker came to him and asked him if he would be interested in buying a well-cultivated farm. As a businessman, he got interested, and in the process of the discussion, the broker said, “Poor Godson.” Immediately, Mr. Robert got intrigued by the name and asked for more information about Mr. Godson, and he realized it was the same Godson who saved his life.
The man who had been so selfish found himself checked at last by the thought of another while about grasping a money advantage, The interest of another rose up in him, and began to think how Godson and his wife saved his life, Even though declined the cash gift, he began worrying about the situation
While Godson is devastated and worrisome about the farm, he got a surprise visit from Jenny,
“What is the matter, my friend? You look worried,” Jenny asked
“I’m in trouble,” Godson responded unhesitatingly
“What is the problem?” Jenny inquired
“ I lost my farm to a mortgage.”
“Oh no!
“Don’t be troubled, my good friend, said Mr. Robert. “You rendered me a service in my time of need, and it is now in my power to return it, The farm is still yours; I hold the mortgage.>
As he drove back to the city, he reflected on what he had done and recalled the delight on Godson's face, his heart limping for new and happy emotions.
Having permitted himself to regard another with unselfishness, that interest continued. Many of these acts were embraced, and Mr. Robert realized that it is something more blessed to give than to receive. He found in the latter years of his life a new pleasure: The Pleasure of Benevolence

Wow!!
It's always good to give than to receive. The quest for wealth grows as each day goes by. Even the richest men aren't always satisfied. They want more and more of riches, houses, cars, name it.
I'm glad Mr, Robert had a thorough think and did the right thing by returning the good deed Mr. Godson did for him cause one good turn, deserves another.
#Dreemerforlife.
absolutely right. thanks for stopping by.
It is very good to give rather than receiving because you don't know the kind of state the giver was before giving out.
Meanwhile God loves giver not receivers
There is also joy in give and I am happy that Mr Robert later change his way of life at the end.

Giving is a good habit and a virtue. Mr. Robert had learnt the importance of giving, it is selfish to only want to receive all the time without giving.
Thank you for sharing.
