“98th story”
A Story by Laleh Chini:
I just remembered a memory in my young 20s. It taught me a lesson.
I was back home in Iran and I was married and had my son. There was a female gathering in a relative’s house and I was getting ready for the party.
My husband was going to stay at home and take care of our son while I’m gone.
When I kissed them goodbye to go to the car to leave, our car didn’t start. Something was wrong. My husband tried to fix it fast, but it was no use.
I couldn’t wait much longer because I was very late for the party. We decided that I’d walk to the main street which was very close to get a taxi.
I walked to the main station and waited for a taxi. A taxi stopped to pick me up, whereas I was telling my destination to see if he can take me there, my brother who had a beautiful, expensive sports car passed by to go to our place and saw me.
He was wondering why I was at the station. He stopped in front of the taxi and pointed at me to get into the car. The taxi driver saw him. I told the taxi driver, thanks for your time but I don’t need a taxi any longer.
The taxi driver said: “Shame on you. You have a wedding ring.
You just saw a fancy car with a rich, handsome boy and decided to get in. I pity the man who married you. How would he ever know what you just did right now? Shame, shame.”

At times we are quick to pass judgement without knowing the facts. Thanks for sharing you valuable memory Laleh. 💜
Thanks so much dear for reading, appreciate your kindness.
You know what I’m thinking? How dare he interfere? How dare people in general? What do they know about me or you or anyone for that matter?
Exactly. I didn’t care to explain to him. People close their mind and talk none sense. Thanks for reading dear.
I never do either. Their problem, not mine.
Welcome.
LOL, I know.
Very good advice and a great example.
Thank you so much for reading dear, means a lot.
He judged without knowing the truth… hate this type of person
Thanks dear for reading, appreciate your sympathy.
Normal mortals are generally judgemental 😊
Thanks dear Indira for reading and sharing your thoughts.
How did you respond? Great story.
I just walked away, some people you should just looks into their eyes and walk away, LOL
Well done.
❤️
The judge gathers all the information and witnesses for his final judgment, but some people like that taxi driver reveal their judgment without knowing any thing, that is such a shame.
Love you.
What a wonderful meaningful message in the story. True words of Wisdom. Many times instead of simply asking a simple question, people, would rather assume.
Great Story 🤗💜🌸
Thanks for reading dear, appreciate your kind comment.
You are quite welcome.
❤️
💜
Your next book should be a collection of these stories. So great!
Awww, you’re so kind.❤️
People are so quick to judge without the facts. I am so glad that you didn’t explain yourself.
It goes to show that we should be slow to speak in all things.

Thanks Jenna sweetheart for reading, appreciate your kindness.❤️
Appearances. How we jump at them. never a moment to ask if there’s another interpretation. Always the worst.
Thanks so much dear for reading and commenting, means a lot.❤️
Lol, people often see the things as they look not actually how they are,,,
Yes I agree. Thanks for reading and commenting dear.❤️
Thank you for sharing!… 🙂
A tongue can accuse and carry bad news
The seeds of distrust, it can sow,
So unless you know the truth and only the truth
Be careful of stones that you throw.
(Larry “Dutch” Woller )
Thanks for sharing this wonderful quote. Appreciate your kindness.❤️
A powerful story Laleh! If it had been reversed and a man was getting in the car with a woman, I’m sure nothing would be said!
Lol, you’re right. Appreciate your visit.❤️
🙂
Each story teaches something, prompts something and advises caution.
Thank you for your informative stories.
greetings
Thanks for reading and commenting dear, appreciate your kindness.❤️
Reblogged this on By the Mighty Mumford and commented:
MORE HURTS ARE DONE BY COMMENTS AND JUDGEMENTS “OFF THE CUFF—WITHOUT THE BRAIN” THAN ANY OTHER! HE HAD HIS SNAP JUDGEMENT MIND MADE UP!
Thanks Jonathan dear for reblogging.❤️

Hmm. So true. We are not to judge else we’ll be judged back with those same judgements. Read the Chapter of Matthew 7 in the Holy Bible of God. Christ God’s Son reached about this. Blessings & grace to you. <3
Thanks sweetheart for your suggestion. Appreciate your visit.❤️
Bless God!!! <3 you're most welcome! No problem at all.
❤️❤️❤️
You’re right
The taxi driver is more of being judgemental like so many of the society . Mostly proven wrong
😰
Thanks for reading dear, appreciate your kindness.❤️
Amazing how people who know nothing about who we are think that they have the right to pass judgment on our behavior!
Yes, they give permission to themselves, 😂 ❤️❤️
This is what we call “overjumping into conclusions”.
Yes. It’s true. Thanks dear for reading and commenting.❤️
Another salutary story
That’s very kind of you.
Many people make hasty judgement like this. If there were need to say shame, it would be rather to him. Probably he goes around loosely with women. That is why he jumped to that conclusion.
Thanks dear for your kind comment. Appreciate it.
Yes. We must not be quick to judge. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Winnie sweetheart.❤️
Yes, normally many people judge without knowing the truth.. that is shameful! Great story with a great message!!
Thanks Kranti dear, appreciate your kind visit.❤️
Always my pleasure! ❤️
❤️
Aren’t we all judge too fast – a great reminder
Thanks Shantanu dear.🙏
My absolute pleasure
While we are on the subject of shame, I apologize to your country for the shameful actions of our President toward your country and many of ours as well.
😂😂😂 you’re very kind. Appreciate it.❤️
I am thinking why people like to judge the behavior of others. He is often wrong. I do not think we’re all kind to each other. Really?
Yes it hurts when you’re being judged unfairly. Thanks dear.❤️
The judgemental taxi driver only said that because he lost his fare. Shame on him.
Lol, that too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts dear.❤️
The judgemental taxi driver only said that because he lost his fare. Shame on him.
Unfortunately true. Thanks dear for reading and commenting.❤️
Though maybe you judged the taxi driver harshly too Laleh? Maybe he was tired, not earning much, family waiting at home for their father. He was wrong but maybe could be forgiven.
I forgave him right away 😂
Life is tough of course.
Thanks Roy dear appreciate your thoughts.❤️
Really hats off to you ma’am. You did not respond to him and just walked. away. Many will loose temper after getting such comments.
I’m always afraid of arguments, thanks dear Tanusri. Appreciate your kindness.❤️

Quando l’uomo imparerà a giudicare solo con cognizine di causa? Riflettere prima di parlare sarebbe meglio.
Great point. Thanks so much dear for your kind visit.❤️
That’s why it’s always said half knowledge is very bad as being quick judgemental like a driver is too harmful.
On the other hand people talk and you can’t stop anyone from talking. It’s upto us how we react.
Yes dear, we should continue walking our path and just be sure it’s the right one. Thanks a million.❤️
My pleasure 😇
🌷
never mind on people’s negative judgement
Yes dear. Just continue walking.😂❤️
People may criticise without knowing the reality. What can do is just ignore them and move forward. Oneday they will realise our value. God bless you….🖐
True. 🙏🙏🙏❤️

Muchas gracias. ?Como puedo iniciar sesion?
Sorry for the late reply. I don’t know why your comment was in my spam box.
Definitely blindsided by the ending. Laleh, your writing shares unique moments of surprise with the reader. In this case, the taxi driver needs to check his rearview mirror. He totally missed the honorable wife and mother.
Awww, you’re super kind dear.❤️
