Truth **silence**

The train has started moving. It is packed with people
of all ages, mostly with the working men and women and
young college guys and gals. Near the window, seated a
old man with his 30 year old son. As the train moves
by, the son is overwhelmed with joy as he was thrilled
with the scenery outside...

"See Dad, the scenery of green trees moving away is
very beautiful".

This behaviour from a thirty year old son made the
other people feel strange about him. Every one started
murmuring something or other about this son. "This guy
seems to be a crack..." newly married Anup whispered
to his wife.

Suddenly it started raining... Rain drops fell on the
travelers through the opened window. The Thirty year
old son, filled with joy, "see Dad, how beautiful the
rain is..."

Anup's wife got irritated with the rain drops spoiling
her new suit.

Anup: "Can't you see its raining, you old man, if your
son is not feeling wel, get him soon to a mental
asylum…and don't disturb public henceforth".

The old man hesitated first and then in a low tone
replied, "We are on the way back from hospital, my son
got discharged today morning , he was a blind by
birth, last week only he got vision, these rain and
nature are new to his eyes.. Please forgive us (me)
for the inconvenience caused..."

The things we see may be right from our perspective
until we know the truth. But when we know the truth,
our reaction to that will hurt even us.

So try to understand the problem better, before taking
a harsh action.

"The Beauty of Life does not depend on how much Happy
You are…

… but on how much Happy others can be…

Because of You!!!"
