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.
