The Burnt Toast Hello everyone. My name is Emily. When I was around 8 or 9 years old, I remember my mother occasionally making burnt toast. One evening, my mother came home after a long day at work and prepared dinner for my father and me. She set out a few slices of toast, burnt not just slightly but black as coal. I sat there, looking at the toast, waiting to see if anyone would say something. But my father just ate his piece of toast and asked me about my homework and school, as usual. My mother apologized to him for burning the toast. My father said: "Darling, I like burnt toast." After dinner, I asked if he really liked burnt toast. My father put his arm around me and said: "Your mother worked very hard all day, and she's exhausted. A piece of burnt toast won't hurt anyone, but do you know what really hurts people? Harsh criticism and complaints." Then he continued, "Life is full of imperfections and flawed individuals. I'm quite flawed in many ways. What I've learned over the years is how to accept others' mistakes and choose to support their differences. That's the most important key to building a lasting relationship, my dear. Cherish those who treat you well, and be understanding towards those who haven't learned to do so yet." Lesson: In life, you need to learn to empathize with the weaknesses and limitations of others. Empathy towards the lives, personalities of everyone in the family, friends, spouses... will help you have a harmonious life. Empathy - the secret to nurturing family happiness. This story is a lesson in empathy between people.
