"I Belong to You." The true story

A 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 colour 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 ten words.



ANSWER :

The husband just said ,

"I am with you, Darling . I belong to You."

The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behaviour.
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 be much fewer problems in the world.
Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears.
and you will find things are not actually not as difficult as you think.


MORAL OF THE STORY

Love people unconditionally. Seperate people from their qualities.
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 relationships.
