溫故知新 Old wisdom, today’s insight — ONGO
By Their Fruit You Will Recognize Them
By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
Anyone can dress up their words to sound convincing.
Do I trust someone's words, or do I look at the actual fruit they have produced?
📝Reflection
Anyone can dress up their words to sound convincing. But the true nature of a tree eventually shows in its fruit. No matter how hard it tries, a thornbush cannot produce grapes. People are the same. The grain of long-observed behavior, the pattern of repeated results, tells the true nature of a person. One accumulated fruit is far more honest evidence than one convincing sentence.
🌱Apply It Today
When judging someone today, look first at the results they have produced, not their words.
This verse is read as universal humanistic wisdom, not religion — no faith is promoted, and the reflection is 100% original ONGO content.
