The metaphor of sowing

? A sower went out to sow. When sowing, some fell by the roadside, and the birds came and ate them up; Some fall on shallow stones, the soil is not deep, and the seedlings germinate fastest. As soon as the sun came out, they dried up because they had no roots. Some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it; Some fall into good soil and bear fruit, some bear a hundred times, some bear sixty times and some bear thirty times.

This is a metaphor in the Bible.

The meaning of this metaphor is:

Whoever hears the truth of the kingdom of heaven but does not understand it, the evil one comes and takes away what was sown in his heart. This is planted by the roadside. He who was sown on the stony ground is a man who has heard the word and now accepts it with joy, because he has no root in his heart, but it is only temporary, and even falls down immediately because of suffering or persecution of the word; Those who were sown among thorns were those who heard the word. Later, the thoughts of the world and the confusion of money blocked the word and came to nothing. He who is sown on good ground understands, and then bears fruit, some a hundred times, some sixty times and some thirty times.

The metaphor of sowing is still realistic in reality.

The school will hold some lectures on parenting from time to time, and parents will also be invited to listen.

The lively lectures touched parents greatly, as if they had suddenly opened the door to their wisdom. However, this feeling is more talk, and then completely forgotten.

There are many similar examples in life. Sowing virtue does not necessarily reap virtue.
