A sucessFull Realtion Ship
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 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?

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 was 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.
