Reflect on this
A rich Italian father was celebrating his only son’s birthday. The high light of the day’s program was a football match. The stadium was flooded with people who longed to watch the enthralling match between two famous teams of Italy. The crowd roared with joy as the teams competed with each other, but the birthday boy watched the game without enthusiasm.
He looked at his father and said sulkily, ‘Dad! Why are you so stingy?’
The father who had spent some millions of dollars for the celebration of his only son’s birthday was perplexed. He looked at his son surprisingly.
The son explained, ‘In this hot sun, look how these fellows are chasing only one ball. How sad? Could you not be little more generous in providing each one of them a ball so that they could play with them happily?’
At times we are just like this boy! We fail to notice the joyful, energizing aspects of many incidents taking place in front of us. Instead, we brood on meaningless issues and miss all the fun in life.
