A boy was born to a couple after 11
years of marriage. They were a loving
couple and the boy was the apple of
their eyes. When the boy was around
two years old, one morning the husband
saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the
bottle and keep it in the cupboard. The
mother, preoccupied in the kitchen,
totally forgot the matter. The boy saw the bottle and... playfully
went to the bottle and, fascinated with
its color, 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 four
words. What do you think were the four words? The husband just said "I Love You
Darling" The husband's totally unexpected
reaction is proactive behavior. The child
is dead. He can never be brought back to
life. Therefore, there's 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 point
in attaching any blame. She had also lost
her only child. What she needed at that
moment was consolation and sympathy
from the husband. That was what he
gave her. Sometimes we spend time asking who is
responsible or who to blame, whether in
a relationship, in a job or with the people
we know. We miss out some warmth in
human relationship in giving each other
support. After all, shouldn't forgiving someone we love be the easiest thing in
the world to do? Treasure what you
have. Don't multiply pain, anguish and
suffering by holding on to unforgiveness. If everyone can look at life with this kind
of perspective, there would be much
fewer problems in the world. Take off all your envies, jealousies,
unwillingness to forgiv, selfishness, and
fears and you will find things are actually
not as difficult as you think.

Thank you.,.,.you made sense.

What a sad tale!

Good moral message though.
