🍚 What a Hot Rice Cooker Taught Me

Date: October 19, 2025

From Korea

This morning, I saw the pressure cooker my spouse didn’t clean up.

“Why didn’t they finish this?”

But today, I cooked rice myself.

The rice was done.

Time to clean it up.

…I couldn’t touch it.

I could feel the heat without touching.

Oh, that’s why.

💡 Eureka!

I remembered what I read from author Kim Jong-won:

“Don’t judge without experiencing it yourself”

True.

I judged so easily without experiencing it.

One pressure cooker taught me a big lesson.

💚 Everyone Has Their Own Reasons

What I saw as “didn’t do it”

Was actually “couldn’t do it” for them.

From today, I’ll ask first.

Before judging.

“What if I were in their shoes?”
