Summary

This quote highlights how the perception of a guest can change over time. Initially, a guest is welcomed and treated with warmth and hospitality. On the second day, if the guest overstays their welcome or becomes demanding, they become burdensome. By the third day, if their behavior continues to be unpleasant, they are considered a nuisance or pest. It underscores the importance of considering the impact of our actions as guests and the need for gratitude, respect, and mindful behavior when staying in someone else's space.
