only saint can do?!!

Tumbled over this beautiful story in my emails. The ending of the story is surprisingly unbelievable. I really don't know who will react that way if something happen.

The story goes like this...

One couple was blessed with a son after 11 years of marriage . Naturally the son is the pearl to the loving couple's eyes.

The boy was 2 years old. One day the husband was about to go to work when he saw on the table a bottle of medicine left opened.
As he was in a hurry, he told the wife to replace the bottle with the cover. After which he closed the door and left.

The wife was very busy in the kitchen and forgot all about what her husband told her to do. The toddler took the medicine bottle as he was curious and attracted by the colour, he drank all the medicine from the bottle.
The dosage was strong. The baby was rushing to the hospital but died of overdose eventually. The wife was terrified and didn't know how to face her husband.
The worried husband rushed to the hospital and was very sad to learn the bad news.
After looking at the son's body, he looked at the wife and said 4 words.

Guess what did he said?

"I Love You, Darling"

The reaction is Proactive (able to control the situation and not to be controlled by the situation). The reason: The death of the son is a reality.

Blaming and fighting would not bring back the son. Moreover, he was not the only one who is losing a son, his wife too.

The moral of the story is choices of making decision.
Facing a mishap, you can indulge in blaming, cursing the world or even self-blaming. All these will not change what has happened. In fact, it would change your subsequent daily life: carry on your life with a scar.
On the other hand, when one let go of resentment and fear, let go of the past, carrying on life with courage, the situation is not as bad as one may imagine. Proactive Behaviour will change the conditions around us and not to be affected and influenced of that.

This simple story, however how many of us could act like this? Just a simple 4 words. Nevertheless, it required very good self-development, tolerance and lot of wisdom to say such touching words under such situation.

I had the similar situation the other day, not about life and death but it really affected me.
