A boy was born to a couple after11 years of marriage.They were a loving couple &
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 & keep it in the cupboard. The mother, preoccupied in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter.
The boy saw the bottle & playfully went to the bottle, 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 & saw the dead child, he looked at his wife & uttered just four words. "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 had taken time to keep the bottle away, this will not have happened.
What's the point attaching blame? She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation & sympathy from the husband.
That is what he gave her....Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or looking for who to blame.., whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. And we end up missing 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 you can go wrong sometimes and still forgive yourself,why cant you
forgive others?
Take away ego, pride, jealousy, unwillingness to forgive, selfishness,and fears,. & you will find out that things are actually not as difficult as you think.
