　　The results of the US/NATO bombing(轰炸) of Yugoslavia are to be judged by history. Being in the center of the events that are creating that history, I cannot 1 from what is going on in my country.

　　First of all, the aim of the bombing was to 2 a human suffering in Kosovo. Today, after many days of the bombing, that aim is more 3 than before. The bombing only brought tens of thousands of people running away from their 4 . Suppose that the US/NATO really had a wish to stop the human suffering, they should realize by now 5 they were when they thought the bombing would solve the problem.

　　So, what's left? Back off? Or ground troops(部队)? But who is going to join the ground troops? It should be 6 that the Serbs(塞族) will not give up on Kosovo.

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn to not judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in the summer, and the youngest son in the fall.

When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no - it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son disagreed, he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, and it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but one season in the tree's life. He told them that they cannot determine a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the nature of who they are - and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life - can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are over.

If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall. Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.

Don't judge a life by one difficult season.
