A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the everything for them. 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 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 and
fascinated by 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..
QUESTIONS:
1. What were the four words?
2. What is the implication of this story?
Scroll down to read..
ANSWER:
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 had taken time to keep the
bottle away, this would not happen.
No one to be blamed. She had 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. Take off all your envies,
jealousies, unforgiving attitude, selfishness, and fears. And you will find
things are actually not as difficult as you think.
