Mimi came home late from work, exhausted and hungry. Instead of getting some rest, her stepmother told her to do all the house chores and cook her own food, even though there was already food in the house. What makes it more painful is that her stepsister had been home all day, yet she wasn't asked to do any chores. Mimi finished everything and finally went to bed around 2 AM. Just two hours later, at 4 AM, her stepmother woke her up again and told her to start cooking before leaving for work. Half asleep and completely exhausted, Mimi put rice on the stove to parboil and sat down to wait for it to boil. But her body couldn't take it anymore. She accidentally fell asleep. Before she knew it, the rice had burned. Her stepmother rushed into the kitchen shouting and insulting her, saying that if the house had burned down, Mimi would have to rebuild it herself. So tell me... who is really at fault here? Is it fair to expect someone who is physically and emotionally exhausted to keep going without rest? π Sometimes people are not lazy; they are simply tired from carrying burdens no one sees. π A tired heart can only carry so much before it breaks. π If you were Mimi, how would you feel? π Share your thoughts in the comments.
