I will not gamble today. I would like to share this story.
LIFE’S ECHO
A man and his son were walking in the forest. Suddenly, the boy tripped, and having hurt himself, he cried out, “Oww!” From a distant mountain, the cry returned, “Oww!”
Surprised, the child called, “Who are you?” the response came from far away, “Who are you?”
The boy was frustrated by this answer, and called, “You are a coward!” The mountain’s reply: “You are a coward!”
The child turned to his father, hurt and bewildered, “Son,” the father said “Pay attention,” Turning toward the mountain, the man called loudly, “You are loved!” The voice returned clearly, “You are loved!”
You are strong and capable!” the father called. Back came the voice: “You are strong and capable!”
The boy looked questioningly at his father, who explained the far-off voice.
It’s called an echo,” the father said. But it is truly a reflection of life. Life gives you back what you give to it. It is a mirror of yourself. If you want love-give love. If you want kindness, be kind. If you want to be respected, treat others with respect.
“The echo applies to every aspect of our lives.”
Life does give back what it receives from us. It is no coincidence, but an echo of our own choices!
