A Lovely message

 A LOVELY
MESSAGE.

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.

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,unforgiv eness,
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.
