Love for Fellow Human Beings

Hi friends,

Here are two touching true-life incidents showing a daughter’s love for her father and how people who are disabled help each other.

Every day we hear and read of incidents where accident victims lie on the road, or ladies are harassed in buses or roads and we healthy people just walk away as if it was not our business.

These pieces should be eye-openers to shake our conscience.

Some time ago a man punished his 3-year old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper.
Money was tight and he became angry when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.
Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy.”
He was embarrassed over his over-reaction earlier, but his anger flared again when he found that the box was empty.
He yelled at her, “ Don’t you know that when you give a present to someone, there’s supposed to be something inside it?”
The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said,”Oh, Daddy, it’s not empty, I blew kisses into the box. All for you, Daddy.”
The father was crushed. He put his arms around the little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness.
An accident snatched away the life of the child only a short time later, and it is told that the man kept that gold box by his bed for many years and whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

In very real sense, each of us humans has been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, friends, family, or God.

Don’t Cry, We are with you (Always strive for the benefit of all)

A few years ago, in Seattle, USA, a Special Olympics was organized.
On that day, nine contestants assembled at the starting line for the 100-yard race.
All the participants were physically or mentally disabled since birth, yet they had prepared to run the race.
When the gunshot was heard, they all started out, not exactly in a dash, but with the relish to run the race to the finish and win.
Some limped, some faltered; yet kept racing ahead.
All wanted to see who would reach first.
One by one, all were moving ahead, except one very small boy. He tried hard to walk ahead but then stumbled midway and fell down. And began to cry.
The other eight heard the boy cry. They slowed down and paused. Then they all turned around and started walking back towards the boy, every one of them. One girl with Down’s syndrome bent down, helped him to get up and kissed him and said, ”This will make you feel better.”
Then all the nine contestants linked arms and walked together to the finish line.
Everyone in the stadium stood up and applauded the children. The cheering went on for not less than ten minutes. The audience could never forget the scene.
