My boss sent me this thru email. I just want to share this, so I re posted it. Happy reading.
(This is a true story that happened in Japan)
In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan tears open the wall.
Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between wooden walls.
When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there
because a nail from outside hammered into one of its feet.
He sees this, feels pity and at the same time curious, as when he checked the nail,
it was nailed 10years ago when the house was first built. What happened?
The lizard survived in such position for 10years in a dark wall partition for 10years without even moving.
It is impossible and mind-boggling.
Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10years without moving a single step since its foot was nailed.
So he stopped his work and observed the lizard. what is has been doing, and what and how it has been eating.
Later, not knowing from where it came, appears another lizard, with food in its mouth.
Ahh! He was stunned and touched deeply.
For the lizard that was stuck by nail, another lizard has been feeding it for the past 10years.
Such love, such a beautiful love! Such love happened even with this tiny creature.
What can love do? It can do wonders! Love can do miracles!
Imagine what it has been doing that lizard untiringly for 10years, without giving up hope on its partner.
Imagine what a small creature can do, that a creature blessed with a brilliant mind can't.
I was touched when I heard this story and started wondering about relationships between family members, friends, lovers, brothers and sisters.
As information and communication technology advances, our access to information becomes faster and faster that we can ever imagine.
But the distance between human being... is it getting closer as well?
I am convinced that the lesson of this all, is never to abandon our love ones.
As the saying goes, " One will never appreciate and understand the value of another until he is gone."
