A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. The mother , preoccupied in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter.
The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle and, fascinated with its color, 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 four words.
What do you think were the four words?
The husband just said "I Love You Darling"
The husband's totally unexpected reaction is 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 have taken time to keep the bottle away, this will not have happened. No
point in attaching blame. 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.
Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or who to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. We miss out some warmth in human relationship in giving each other support. After all, shouldn't forgiving someone we love be the easiest thing in the world to do? Treasure what you have. Don't multiply pain, anguish and suffering by holding on to forgiveness.
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, unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.

ma'am life could be easiest if the people find love even in a black and blue fight...
ReplyDeletebut love is too big thing we just need positive thinking which is the root of every strong love...
if we take even misbehavior in positive way then we can enjoy all the things, movements, seconds weather we like or dislike...
ma'am once you have tough this...
if your attitude is like “This is not my favorite” then you want enjoy that... this come to my mind by reading post... blame comes in our mind when we dislike something, but when situation is in our liking's we are eager to be paid nice amount of credits...
so in this case I will say they are innocent, if this was not written in their destiny then it would never be happened... but what ever happens are pre-written in our fortune... this was one of the many best couples...
have a nice relies on this post ma'am...
mam againg this was awesome and powerful story... soch me dal diya...really...
Mahesh you are right but my opinion is bit different...that is not destiny its negligence. If they kept bottle in safe place then this would not happened. If you remember then I also thought one more lesson that we create our own destiny.Don't blame means accept your own mistake.Here in this story father and mother both are equally responsible. According to me this story teach us one more lesson: accept the result with courage. U can find out the reason for your success and failure but to stick on that don't serve any purpose., a se kiya hota toh yeh nahi hota etc...bcz jo ho gaya h usko badal nahi sakte toh accept karna sikho. Either you change the situation or if not possible then accept it with smile, without ant regret .
Deletema'am you are absolutely right...
Deletewe need to learn how to match the situation of any kind...
we must accept what is the fact and no need to wast time in searching proof for the fake...;)
ma'am we are waiting for next story...
