The Echo
~Unknown~
A man and his son were walking in the
forest. Suddenly, he trips and feeling a sharp pain he
screams, "Ahhhhhh!" Surprised, he hears a
voice coming from the mountain, "Ahhhhh!"
Filled with curiosity, he screams, "Who are
you?" but the only answer he receives is, "Who
are you?" This makes him angry, so he screams,
"You are a coward!" and the voice answers,
"You are a coward!" He looks at his father,
asking, "Dad, what is going on?"
"Son," the man replies,
"pay attention!" Then he screams, "I
admire you!" The voice answers, "I admire
you!"
The father shouts, "You are
wonderful!" and the voice answers, "You are
wonderful!"
The boy is surprised, but still can't
understand what is going on.
Then the father explains,
"People call this an 'echo' but truly it is 'life!'
Life always gives you back what you give out. Life is a
mirror of your actions. If you want more love, give more
love. If you want more kindness, give more kindness. If
you want understanding and respect, give understanding
and respect. If you want people to be patient and
respectful to you, give patience and respect. This rule
of nature applies to every aspect of our lives."
Life always give you back what you
give out. Your life is not a coincidence, but a mirror
of your own doings. |
