THIS IS HOW WE MISS OUT SOMETHING CALLED "LIFE"
A boy was born to a
couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and
the boy was
the gem of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one
morning the
husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for office so he asked
his wife
to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. His wife, preoccupied
in the
kitchen totally forgot the matter. The boy saw the bottle and
playfully went to
the
bottle fascinated by its color and drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child
collapsed the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband. When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just five words.
QUESTIONS :
1. What were the five words ?
2. What is the implication of this story?
ANSWER :
The husband just said "I am with you Darling"
The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point
in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not have happened.. No one is to be blamed. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.
If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world. "A journey of a thousand miles
begins with a single step". Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears. And you will find things are
actually not as difficult as you think.

Half our problems may come to an end the day when
we stop trying to find fault in others deeds,as
past can't to reverted back but by playing blame
game we may end up ruining not only our present
but also our future.
