This is an image took while having a simple fast meal. A simple add on of another spoon inspire me to just snap this down and write something about it. Moments, happiness, sweetness and many more are shared to bring joy to many. When the world today is giving many signs to human nature with all her anger and killing millions of lives, are we all concerned? care?
We are often too busy. Work, Datelines, Clients, Sales Target. As the world moving faster and faster, human nature is chasing to cope with the world's progress too. Not to mention about world disaster's unfortunate. In times we don't even have time to catch up with families what more friends, and those who are not as fortunate as us who lost their home and families in disasters.
To those who are too busy, sit down for a moment, think for a second. When was your last time you spent a cup of Ice Cream or a meal time with your family and friends. Care for people you love, people around you and people far across. Share your love with them and make the world a better place.
Recall your family, relatives and friends. Spare a meal with them.
The story below seems familiar to you isn't it? If not spent some time to read it
The story is about a boy and his dad.
“Daddy, may I ask you a question?”
“Yeah, sure, what it is?” replied the man.
“Daddy, how much do you make an hour?”
“That’s none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?” the man angrily said.
“I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour.”
“If you must know, I make $50 an hour.”
“Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down. “Daddy, may I please borrow $25?”
The father was furious,
“If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don’t work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.”
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $25 and he really didn’t ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door.
“Are you asleep, son?” he asked.
“No daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.
“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the man. “It’s been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here’s the $25 you asked for.”
The little boy sat straight up, smiling.
“Oh, thank you daddy!,” he yelled.
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.
“Why do you want more money if you already have some?” the father grumbled.
“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied. “Daddy, I have $50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness. It’s just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $50 worth of your time with someone you love. If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of hours. But the family and friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.
