Love

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 the office 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
playfully went to the medicine bottle and, fascinated with its colour drank
it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small
dosages. When the child showed signs of poisoning the mother took 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 :

What were the four words ? What is the implication of this story ?

ANSWER :

The husband just said " I love You Darling "

The husband's totally unexpected reaction is proactive behaviour. He is
indeed a genius in human relationships. The child is dead. He can never
come back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother.

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.

To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little.


To be happy with a woman you must understand her a lot and love her with
all your heart.

off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears AND
you will find things are actually not so difficult as you think."
