A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the gem of their eyes.

When the boy was about two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. His wife, preoccupied in her kitchen affairs totally forgot the matter.

The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not have happened. No one is to be blamed.

She had also lost her only child because of her mistake, and he also lost his child because of his mistake. Both were at mistake, but the wife's mistake was more serious. Still what was the use of blaming each other at that time when the thing has already happened and cannot be brought back? What she needed at that moment was only consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he should have given her and he gave her.

REFLECTION
If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world. Take the responsibility for your actions, in this case one transferred it, the other one forgot it. In fact both have to be blamed, if and only if any one of them had just only a couple of minutes, this mishap could not have happened. So please consider the gravity of situation and act according to it, otherwise one has to repent like this only.
