Blame Nobody

Sometimes we spend time asking who isresponsible or whom to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or withthe people we know. We miss out some warmth in human relationship to giveeach other support. Treasure what you have. Just a little story ....
A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were aloving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes. When the boy wasaround 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 inthe cupboard. His wife, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot thematter. The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle andfascinated by its color, drank it all. It happened to be a poisonousmedicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed themother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned.She was terrified how to face her husband. When the distraught father cameto the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and utteredjust four words.
The husband just said "I Love You Darling"
The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behavior. Thechild is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point infinding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he have taken time to keepthe bottle away, this will not happen. No one to be blamed. She had alsolost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation andsympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her. If everyone can lookat life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problemsin the world.
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, andfears. And you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think. "
A successful marriage requires falling in love many times ----- with the same person."
