Think before u act

Some things are not what they seem…

The train has started moving. It is packed with people of all ages, mostly with the workingmen and women and young college guys and gals. Near the window, seated a 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 made the other people feels strange about him. Every one started murmuring something or other about this guy. "This guy seems to be insane," whispered a guy to his wife.

Suddenly it started raining... Raindrops fell on the travelers through the opened window. The Thirty year old man, filled with joy shrieked " see dad, how beautiful the rain is.."

A lady passenger got irritated with the raindrops spoiling her new dress.

The annoyed young passenger addressed the old man and said," cant you see its raining, mister? If your son is not feeling well get him admitted to a mental asylum and don’t disturb 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 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.
