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 colour 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, Unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears. And you will find things are Actually not as difficult as you think.

MORAL OF THE STORY 

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

Thanks , Mr Manoj for penning a sad but courageous story...the courage of a man.
I was shuddered to read the story.The story touched me emotionally and connected me with the family.I did not finish the story and for a layman like me, i was about to blame the innocent house wife,then i took the cursor down and the answer from husband tempered my cool.Moral of the story:Delegation of power has its limitation,so please exercise it carefully and provide some space down the line as well.

it was a good lesson...but there are some instances in life which are close to unforgiveness and should deal strictly with that so that they didnt repeat again...but as rightly said by manoj..everyone should know their responsibility and rather than blaming others be proactive from your side....

Reminds me of a certain incidence in my life. No one is perfect. But our family, our friends accept us. That's what helps us grow, change our habits, be a good person.
Thank you for the share.

A good lesson
  Commented by  Deep, Key Account Manager, Advertising    | 01 28 2011 06:14:12 +0000
Its a good story. Just to add to it, we all tend to react instantly to any situation, we just blurt out in anger without considering what the other person feels. We need to just pause a while when we are angry, should not speak out what ever comes out. After a while everything cools down and the language and the tone we use will surely change to more productive than destructive.

Persons who believe in Karma theory would have acted the way you expect the husband to react in such a situation, but majority of them would be interested in fact-finding exercise, adding fuel to the episode, showcase it to everyone until the person involved / responsible in such avoidable accidents succumb to the pressure eventually committing suicide!

Good Story Manoj...

It is very true that small careless in life sometimes leads to big losses...

But it is always important to Salvage what is left off after a calamity/disaster and start -off with what is left, rather the starting the blame game.

Nomatter who is to blame they cannot get their precious one back...that is why precaution is always better than cure.

It's an eye-opener for many of us, who are always running from their responsibility & transfers it to other, when failure is there.
