why we should never only focus on the surface and judge others without understanding

A cruise ship met with an accident at sea. On the ship was a couple who, after having made their way to the lifeboat, they realized that there was only space for one person left.

At this moment, the man pushed the woman behind him and jumped onto the lifeboat himself.


The lady stood on the sinking ship and shouted one sentence to her husband.


The teacher stopped and asked, "What do you think she shouted?"


Most of the students excitedly answered, "I hate you! I was blind!"


Now, the teacher noticed a boy who was silent throughout, she got him to answer and he replied, "Teacher, I believe she would have shouted - Take care of our child!"


The teacher was surprised, asking "Have you heard this story before?"


The boy shook his head, "Nope, but that was what my mum told my dad before she died to disease".


The teacher lamented, "The answer is right".


The cruise sunk, the man went home and brought up their daughter single-handedly.


Many years later after the death of the man, their daughter found his diary while tidying his belongings.


It turns out that when parents went onto the cruise ship, the mother was already diagnosed with a terminal illness. At the critical moment, the father rushed to the only chance of survival.


He wrote in his diary, "How I wished to sink to the bottom of the ocean with you, but for the sake of our daughter, I can only let you lie forever below the sea alone".


The story is finished, the class was silent.


The teacher knows that the student has understood the moral of the story, that of the good and the evil in the world, there are many complications behind them which are hard to understand.


Which is why we should never only focus on the surface and judge others without understanding them first.


Those who like to pay the bill, do so not because they are loaded but because they value friendship above money.


Those who take the initiative at work, do so not because they are stupid but because they understand the concept of responsibility.


Those who apologize first after a fight, do so not because they are wrong but because they value the people around them.


Those who are willing to help you, do so not because they owe you any thing but because they see you as a true friend.


Those who often text you, do so not because they have nothing better to do but because you are in their heart.


One day, all of us will get separated from each other; we will miss our conversations of everything & nothing; the dreams that we had. Days will pass by, months, years, until this contact becomes rare..

Little story about the sparrow, cow and cat
Once upon a time, there was a little sparrow. He was just an average sparrow, flying around and stuff.
It was a cold winter day, but our sparrow was flying around very cheerfully. After all, he had a bunch of food in his warm nest and was pretty happy about that.
As he wandered around, he didn’t mentioned that it’s getting darker and colder, and before he realized it, he found himself lost on the outskirts of the big woods…

He sat on the branch and started thinking what to do, but since it was dark, he couldn’t find his way home. So he sat, hoping that someone will arrive and help him out.
Noone came and it just got colder and darker…

After many hours, our little sparrow felt that his strength is wearing out, and by time, he felt sleepy. Little did he know that when you feel sleepy on a big cold – it’s not a good sign. Not at all.

Finally, exhausted, he lifelessly fell on the ground. He saw a bright light coming out from the sky and he knew he was dying. He felt quite comfortable and warmth started spreading through his body. He felt that he is lifting up to the sky, to the light and finally he heard beautiful music followed by a…

“Splat!”

The big cow, without even noticing him, just eased on her stomach (or should we say “laid her brick”) on our little sparrow who was on the ground.

“Other than the smell, it’s not bad at all” – said our little sparrow once he got warm and cozy below the cow’s shit.
A hour later, he even started the joyful chirping. He was a happy sparrow, thankful to his destiny and good fortune.

What he was about to learn soon is that a cat was walking around in his vicinity. That, itself would not be a big problem, but alas, cat was very hungry.

So, cat, who heard the joyful chirping, also thanked her destiny for being good to her and providing such an easy meal.

“It smells like shit, it looks like shit, but it’s actually delicious” – cat was thinking for herself. She dug out and gulped our little sparrow. Poor sparrow didn’t saw it coming.

Our story ends here, but there are couple of facts to learn from it:

1. The one who shits on you is not necessarily your enemy.
2. It’s not always bad to be in deep shit.
3. The one who takes you out of the deep shit is not necessarily your friend.
4. When you are in the pool of shit – keep your mouth closed and do be quiet.
