Well Focus on Better Point
In the heart of a lush forest, where the sun filters through thick green leaves and the sounds of rustling branches and monkey chatter fill the air, life teaches many lessons every single day. Among the playful jumps, sudden quarrels, and dramatic moments, sometimes it’s the quiet and thoughtful acts that leave the deepest impression. One such moment came from an older monkey named Jaro, a calm observer in a troop often filled with noise and chaos. Jaro wasn’t the fastest, the loudest, or the most dominant—but he had something rare: the ability to well focus on better points in life, and to guide others gently through difficult situations.
Unlike the younger, more energetic monkeys who often leapt from branch to branch without a second thought, Jaro was deliberate. He sat still, watched carefully, and always chose his actions wisely. While others rushed to snatch the best fruit or fight over sleeping spots, Jaro would quietly move to areas that others overlooked. Surprisingly, those spots often had even sweeter fruit or were more shaded and peaceful. The younger ones started noticing this, slowly learning that rushing in without thinking didn’t always lead to the best outcome.
One memorable incident brought Jaro’s wisdom into sharp focus. A disagreement had broken out among two young males over a pile of ripe bananas. Their shouting and pushing attracted a crowd of troop members, all watching to see who would win. The noise echoed through the trees, creating stress and tension. That’s when Jaro slowly approached—not to interfere, not to scold, but to shift the attention.
Instead of focusing on the fight, Jaro climbed to a nearby tree and began to groom one of the younger, anxious monkeys sitting on the edge. The moment was soft, comforting, and full of calm energy. One by one, the surrounding monkeys noticed and turned their attention toward Jaro. The fighting slowed, and eventually, the two arguing males stopped altogether, confused by the sudden change in mood. Jaro hadn’t said a word, but his quiet choice redirected everyone’s energy. He had focused on a better point—peace over conflict, care over chaos.
Monkeys, like humans, often get caught up in the excitement and drama of daily life. It’s easy to focus on what’s loud or stressful. But Jaro taught an important lesson: when we choose to focus on better points—things like patience, kindness, or stillness—we create a ripple effect. Others feel it. Others notice it. And sometimes, the whole environment shifts because of one quiet decision.
Even the younger monkeys began copying Jaro’s behavior. They learned to pause before jumping into a fight, to observe more carefully, and to comfort each other when emotions ran high. Grooming became more than just a social activity—it became a way to connect, to calm, and to build trust. And it all began with one monkey choosing to act differently.
This way of living isn’t just valuable in the jungle. It’s something we can learn from as humans too. Life throws noise, distractions, and problems at us constantly. It’s easy to get overwhelmed or react quickly. But when we choose to well focus on the better point—the action that brings peace, the word that brings healing, the moment that brings stillness—we create better outcomes, not just for ourselves but for everyone around us.
In the end, Jaro may not have been the loudest voice in the forest, but he was one of the wisest. His example shows that power isn’t always in strength or speed. Sometimes, the greatest strength lies in quiet focus, gentle presence, and the ability to find the better point in every situation. And because of him, the whole troop grew a little calmer, a little wiser, and a lot more connected.
