4 Words - good to read

Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or who to blame,
whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. We miss
out some warmth in human relationship to give each other support.
Treasure what you have. Just a little story for you:

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a
loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes. When the boy was
around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle
open. He was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and
keep it in the cupboard. The mother, preoccupied in the kitchen totally
forgot the matter.
The boy playfully went to the medicine bottleand,fascinated with its
color, drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for
adults in small dosages. When the child showed signs of poisoning the
mother took him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned.
She was terrified how to face her husband. When the distraught father
came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and
uttered just four words.

ANSWER:


The husband just said, "I Love You Darling ".

The husband's totally unexpected reaction is proactive behavior. He is
indeed a genius in human relationships. The child is dead. He can never
be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the
mother. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment
was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave
her. If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there
would be much fewer problems in the world.

To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a
little.

To be happy with a woman you must understand her a lot and love her with
all your heart.
