L.I.F.E

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.


QUESTION : "What will you do if you were the husband?"

Before we could think of the answer emotionally, let's see how the story goes.

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. Take off all your envies, jealousies,
unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears. And you will find things are
actually not as difficult as you think.

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 called L.I.F.E .
Many of times, we are too focus in blaming others, and often neglected
other's feelings..
