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.

QUESTIONS :
1. What were the five words ?
2. What is the implication of this story?





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 something called L.I.F.E .

Good Article. Take things as it comes..... Life is which has to be enjoyed.
Reverse direction: Move on & up form a mental image of it as large red... "NO" & then slowly visulaise the better turning green as the letter reverse to "ON"

Good one .thanks for the referral.
Of course there may be few characters who developes this kind of reaction and tolerate simply. They really have no problem at all and they are being counted as super human being what I think. Of course life cannot be brought back and it is useless to get react but we must try to tackle the worst situation peacfully and politely what I say.

Too materialistic approach and looks a little unrealistic. hope this gentleman is an ideal husband. mother always likes the child to be loved rather than herself as i believe. she can talerate anything even if she is blamed on behalf of her beloved child. here, the guy has not shown any affection towards the child! and started supporting his wife. hope wife would not be happy realistically..

"Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears. And you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think"..... That is what differentiates humans and being inhuman!! Wonderful article Alka, as usual. Keep them coming. Important basics in life! :))
