SOMETHING THAT WE OFTEN MISS-OUT IN LIFE

Hari! Om!

Read this story and revert with what you have to say or do.....................................

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.


1. What were the five words?
2. What is the implication of this story?
  
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.

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. By this way we miss out something called L.I.F.E

  3. Hari! Om!

    Well Ladies & Gentlemen, Wife & Husband is only an example. For that matter it applies and should be applied also to all sorts of relationships in this Entirity. As you can observe from the Moral of the story & on the Qualities or Characterestics that we need to check-on from the lines above the moral.

    I am sure it is relevant to all of us including how we relate to even things as well. Jai! Hind!
