I am with you

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 bemuch fewer problems in the world. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiving, 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. Never take some one for granted, Hold every person Close to your Heart because you might wake up one day and realize that you have lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones." Remember this always

it was a beautiful story, until some crazy friends interpreted it in a different light...

"u want to pick stone(ssp's mistakes) then lose diamond(job)"
"next time u see got ssp's plan not done or ssp's email not reply (medicine bottle open)"
"the child is dead is like C torsional problem"

they say...

africans, before marriage, eyes open wide to see the goods and flaws of the other half. then after marriage, close one eye.

chinese, before marriage, eyes both closed to be blinded by love. after marriage then open both eyes and realised the flaws...
