A Little Story

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 to give each other support.
Treasure what you have. Just a little story for
you:

A boy was born to a couple after eleven 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
playfully went to the medicine 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 showed
signs of poisoning the mother took 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.

QUESTIONS :

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

Check with the answers only after you have tried
to come up with your own.

ANSWER :

The husband just said " I Love You Darling ".
The husband's totally unexpected reaction is
proactive behavior. He is indeed a genius in
human relationships. The child is dead. He can
never be brought back to life. There is no point
in finding fault with the mother. 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.
To be happy with a man you must understand him a
lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman you must understand her
a lot and love her with all your heart.

"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
so difficult as you think."

"There are many beautiful, charming and
wonderful men and women here on earth, it's just
a matter of who you get to meet along the way
and who you choose to end up with for the rest
of your life.

"Love has its own time, season and reason. You
can't ask for it to stay. You can only embrace
it when it comes and be glad that for a moment
in your life, it was yours.
