BLESSING IN DISGUISE

Once upon a time, there was a school teacher teaching the kids who fought a lot in the classroom.so the teacher told them to be quiet and made them write something on a piece of paper.

Kids, put a horizontal line in between your paper, on the left side write all the things you hate about the friends you dislike. All the kids who fought wrote all the things they hate so easily, there were lots and lots of things they could write about their enemies.

And now kids, write on the right side of your paper something you like about your enemies. The kids had a problem to write those easily, however they still wrote 1 or 2 things they liked about their enemies.

And lastly the teacher said, kids....now I want u to tear the left side of the paper and throw it to the bin and the next thing you do is : u keep the right side of that paper and give that paper to your enemies. So the kids did as what the teacher said.

After many many years, there was a burial ceremony of a death one of the friends who went to the same school while they were kids. The wife stood up at the podium and started giving the farewell speech. Before she started the speech, she took out one piece of paper and showed it to the audiences. The wife said...this is the only paper my husband used to carry in his wallet. When he was unhappy he took out this paper and read it again and again.

At the same time, some audiences there also took out a piece of paper from their wallets which they got from their enemy while they were at school.

Hello EC friends,

Seeing good things from someone you hate, can u ?

The only way to keep your enemies away is by making them your friends.

  • IAV,

    Thanks for your comment again. Yes, Confucius is absolutely correct ! I absolutely agree with ya, but I am not Confucius(^_*)

  • Dear Mohammad, 

    Thanks for your comments !

    Yes, I would love to make friend with you, dude ! Its a pleasure

  • Hii dear

    it was so beautiful story.

    dear IF, I asked you some privet (but not so privet) questions in the public room and made you angry , now do you want to make me your friend? (^__^) 

    if so, I'm ready (lol)

  • I asked you first, iF. Anyway, I will tell you when I experience it. Until now, I haven't labeled anyone as the enemy. I don't know anyone that targets me as their enemy since I haven't become a victim of any act of revenge.    
    Suppose I have a disgusting enemy who has no family, no relatives, no friends. And then I plan to kill him/her, carry out and succeed. It means I kept my enemy away forever, yes?. Another supposition, I just carry out acts of revenge, no one dies, and my enemy is the character in your story, forgive and befriend me, and then the grudge ends, yes?. My last supposition for this case, the feud will last forever because of the mutual revenge. Feel stuck the whole life, no escape. There is no happiness based on revenge. Agree.
    Do you think revenge makes us smarter? - Don't repeat my question ;)
    Confucius quote : "Before you embark on the journey of revenge, dig two graves."

  • Nonsenses ..m sorry ..I sent it by mistake without the last word :)
  • Is it possible to have here - in virtual world - enemies? Maybe people who dislike us but I would say enemy is too strong word. Anyway, they say that there isn't anybody in this world who would be loved by all the people.. so lets respect each other and don't fight because of
