-Do you understand?-

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. 


What were the five words ? 

 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. 

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.

Have a blessed day.

I think this email worth to share with my fellow friends,

I found it quite true.

In our life, when things happened, we try to blame other to cover 

our own guilty. Yet, we din judge with rational thinking.

Maybe from now on, we should try to put our feet into other's shoes,

feel how they feel, and make this world a better place,

with no hatred. Ish...i started make myself sound like old folk....

anyway, hope you enjoy your day after spend little time,

read my blog.
