Try Seeing From Another's Point

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 an 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 behavior 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 krack.." 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 ."

A woman got irritated with the rain drops spoiling her new suit. "Can't you see its raining, you old man, get him- your son............... to a mental sylum..and don’t disturb the 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 his vision, these rain and nature are new to his eyes... Please forgive us 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.
