A Simple story to share with ....

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. He died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified
how she was going 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, 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 some warmth in human
relationship.
