Two farmers were having a
long, bitter feud over a fence line. The
quarrel became more and more vitriolic until finally, under the cover of
darkness, one farmer went to the other’s well and dropped bags of salt into it,
contaminating the water. He thought he really
showed his opponent until a few days later when he lifted
water out of his own well and discovered that it was salty.
Both farmers shared a common underground
water table.
Our desires, whether known or
hidden, have a way of filtering into all strata of our soul. Spiteful salt can touch our whole being,
contaminating our whole self, like the farmer’s well.
