The painful lesson
Once upon a time there lived a boy of 10 years . There were only two members in his family consisting of his mother and he himself. His mother had only one eye which was a painful thing but the life still didn't stop giving them pain as her own son hated her because of this. The God cursed him with such a hollow heart that he was even embarrassed to accept her and wished she would just vanish. And so fate bought his mother a crossroad when her son left him forever and got settled in the city.
In the luxurious city life he almost forgot that he even had a mother! After sometime he received a letter inviting students to an alumni reunion. After the reunion God knows what strikes him that he went to his old house or maybe it was another game being played by the God but this time it was with the boy himself. When he went there, he saw his mother laying cold as death striked her and there was a letter in which it was written that few years ago a boy lost his eye in an accident to whom she donated one of his eye.
Doesn't it feel hurt when you hurt someone else for absolutely useless reasons? I guess this was a painful lesson for those who lose their someone special because of foolish mistakes...
Answer:
Explanation:
My mom only had one eye. I hated her… She was such an embarrassment. She cooked for students and teachers to support the family.
There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to say hello to me. I was so embarrassed.
How could she do this to me? I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school one of my classmates said, “EEEE, your mom only has one eye!”
I wanted to bury myself. I also wanted my mom to just disappear. I confronted her that day and said, “If you’re only gonna make me a laughing stock, why don’t you just die?”
My mom did not respond… I didn’t even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because I was full of anger. I was oblivious to her feelings.
I wanted out of that house, and have nothing to do with her. So I studied real hard, got a chance to go abroad to study.
Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. I had kids of my own. I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts. Then one day, my Mother came to visit me. She hadn’t seen me in years and she didn’t even meet her grandchildren.
When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I yelled at her for coming over uninvited. I screamed at her, “How dare you come to my house and scare my children! GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!”
And to this, my mother quietly answered, “Oh, I’m so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address.” – and she disappeared out of sight.
One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went to the old shack just out of curiosity.
My neighbors said that she died. I did not shed a single tear. They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have.
“My dearest son,
I think of you all the time. I’m sorry that I came to your house and scared your children.
I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you. I’m sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you were growing up.
You see……..when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn’t stand watching you having to grow up with one eye. So I gave you mine.
I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye.
With all my love to you,
Your mother'.
