Forgive and Look into the Bright Side
Forgive and Look into the Bright Side:
Once there were brothers named Ram and Raghu aged 10 and 12. They always used to play together.
One day they were playing together. They argued, and Raghu slapped Ram on his face.
Ram went to his mother and complained about the incident. After hearing the story, she asked Ram to write, “Raghu slapped me on the face”, on the sand in the playing area.
Ram did the same.
After a few days, while Ram and Raghu were playing on the terrace, Ram slipped and was about to feel down. Raghu caught him and saved him from falling.
Both went to his mother and narrated the incident. Hearing this, their mother thanked God and told Ram to write, “Raghu saved my life”, in a piece of stone.
Ram asked his mother, “On that day when he slapped me, you told me to write on the sand. But now, when he saved me, why did you ask me to write in the stone?
His mother replied, “When someone hurts us in any manner, we should forgive them like the winds, which erased the letters from the sand.
But when someone does a good thing for us, we should never forget like the engraving on the stone where the winds cannot erase it.”
Moral of the Story
In today’s world, most of us keep grudge in ourselves when someone hurts us. We never try to forgive. Instead, we keep on adding fuel to that.
But when someone does a good thing for us, we easily forget.
It is not the way of living our life.
In simple terms, forgive when someone hurts and never forget when someone does good things for us.
It will help us to live a peaceful life.
