THIS IS HOW WE MISS OUT SOMETHING CALLED "LIFE"
"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 5 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.
These need not just b for the husband to react,
similar should b the mindset & reaction of the wife
also.
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
MORAL OF THE STORY:
This story is really worth reading. .... Sometimes we spend time in asking who is
responsible or whom to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people
we know.
