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, un-forgiveness, 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.
Take Care of your Family...............
