THINK TWICE BEFORE JUDGING OTHERS

Think twice before we judge others

One night there was a woman at the airport who had to wait for several hours before catching her next flight. While she waited she bought a book and a pack of biscuits to spend the time. She looked for a place to sit and wait.

She was deep into her book, when suddenly she realized that there was a young man sitting next to her who was stretching his hand and, with no concern whatsoever, started grabbing the pack of cookies lying between them. He started to eat them one by one.

Not wanting to make a fuss about it, she decided to ignore him. The woman, slightly bothered, ate the cookies and watched the clock, while the young and shameless thief of biscuits was also finishing them. The woman started to get really angry at this point and thought “If I wasn’t such a good and educated person, I would have given this daring man a black eye by now. “Every time she ate a biscuit, he had one too.

The dialogue between their eyes continued and when only one biscuit was left, she wondered what was he going to do. Softly and with a nervous smile, the young man grabbed the last biscuit and broke it in two. He offered one half to the woman while he ate the other half. Briskly she took the biscuit and thought, “What an insolent man! How uneducated! He didn’t even thank me!” She had never met anybody so fresh and sighed relieved to hear her flight announced.

She grabbed her bags and went towards the boarding gate refusing to look back to where that insolent thief was seated. After boarding the plane and nicely seated, she looked for her book which was nearly finished by now.

While looking into her bag she was totally surprised to find her pack of biscuits safely intact. If my biscuits are here, she thought feeling terrible, those others were his and he tried to share them with me. Too late to apologize to the young man, she realized with pain, that it was she who had been insolent, uneducated and a thief, and not him.

How many times in our lives, had we known with certainty that something happened in a certain way, only to discover later that it wasn’t true? How many times has our lack of trust within us made us judge other people unfairly with our conceited ideas, often far away from reality. That is why we have to think twice before we judge others. Let’s always give others the benefit of the doubt before we think badly of them.

Unless and until, one realizes about the fact, no one will change his or
her view of thinking in spite of lot of external factors.

Every Point has THREE Sides; Your Side, My Side and The Right Side.

To understand either the Other’s Side or the Right Side, one needs to leave His Side…….. ..

 

Beauty of a Woman

A little boy asked his mother, “Why are you crying?” “Because I’m a
woman,” she told him. “I don’t understand,” he said. His Mom just
hugged him and said, “And you never will.”

Later the little boy asked his father, “Why does mother seem to cry
for no reason?” “All women cry for no reason,” was all his dad could
say. The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why
women cry.

Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he
asked, “God,Why do women cry so easily?”

God said: “When I made the woman she had to be special.
I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world,
yet gentle enough to give comfort. I gave her an inner strength to
endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her
children.
I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone
else gives up,
and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without
complaining.
I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all
circumstances,
even when her child has hurt her very badly.
I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and
fashioned her
from his rib to protect his heart.
I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife,
but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him
unfalteringly.

And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to
use whenever it is needed.”

“You see my son,” said God, “the beauty of a woman is not in
the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries,
or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because
that is the doorway to her heart – the place where love resides.”
