When I was young, anytime my mum buys broken tomatoes, I always get uncomfortable and wonder why she buys the broken one when fresh one were also sold.
Friends, I was young and I didn’t have financial responsibilities of my own, I do ask her why she buys things like the tomatoes and some other related things as the tomatoes.
I can’t remember her reply anytime I ask her but me not remembering means I didn’t take her reply seriously.
But presently, anytime I go to by tomatoes (I live alone with one or two friends sometimes) I always ask the seller if she has broken tomatoes as now I have financial responsibility and I know that I would get more tomatoes if I buy the broken ones compared to the fresh ones.
Now I totally understand why my mum do buy broken tomatoes, both the fresh ones and the broken ones would be blended and I won’t matter if they were broken or not.
You can take this message and learn from this message in two ways;
It doesn’t matter if you are broken presently in life, what matter is that you are of use to yourself and you neighbors
Make the best of every situation you are in.

Yup, two very good perspectives to work with @baned. Nice sourcing and pretty well written, you might want to go over your posts a second time and read them out loud and double check for typos and misspellings.
Oh! Thanks a lot king.
I'm gonna read through
The things mothers do :D
My Mum never threw rotting fruits away. She would painstakingly cut out the rotten bits and eat the rest. I'd be grossed out begging her to not do that.
Today of course I understand better :D

Hmmm...they are adept at managing resources.
Time sure does a lot of things
Hello Bro... Very soon, you will be going for the freshest tomatoes out there.
And you will be able to support your Mum and the rest of your family. I'm telling you this from experience.
God will see you through, and I hope to also watch you grow here.
This reminds me that I didn't give you any Christmas gift 😂😂😂.
Lemme share little HBD with you ✌️. Do check your wallet when you are free
Oh man! Thanks a lot! I'm gonna check my wallet right away.
I saw some beautiful dollar sitting comfortably in my wallet.
Haha
I'm definitely going to chat you on discord
Hahah... I got that already.
Well Done Bro.
I wish you a good 2022.
My mother also bought the soft tomatoes, they were cheaper and she could get a large amount.
These are the sacrifices that our parents had to made.
Every Nigerian child must have been bothered about it as a child, I am no excluded hehe
We all do now hehe

It is often hard to understand the situation of others unless we are in it. You understood what your mother did only when you were in the similar circumstances.
This short post is interesting with many lessons in it.
we should at least listen to the answers carefully even if we are not in the mood to accept them. Some times later they may make sense to us.
product matters more than the ingredients

Well said my lady.
We most times think from our own perspective, if we wanna understand things we should look at them from the victim's perspective
I think this speaks to the wisdom of parents, things they have learned as they grew up that their actions come out naturally, that often gets mistaken with ignorance.

See how you related it to real life lessons? That was amazing. Despite broken, Mama makes good stew with those tomatoes, so even if broken and going through hardship, we can still shine light and put a smile on another man's face. Well done.
