I am reminded of a little story. One
guy was sitting in the airport waiting for his flight. Next to him was
an old lady, presumably waiting for her flight. Feeling hungry, he
opened a packet of biscuits and started eating. The old lady next to him
also dug in and ate the biscuits. Feeling embarrassed, the man did not
react and he continued to eat the biscuits. Suddenly, the old lady got
up and took the balance of the biscuits away to board her plane. Shell
shocked at the lady's behaviour, the man
mumbled under his breath and shook his head. Then, he boarded his plane
and discovered that his own packet of biscuits was still in his bag. He
had mistakenly opened the old lady's packet of biscuits. But it was too
late for him to apologise to the old lady.
The moral of the
story : Don't be too quick to judge other people. When you point one
finger, four fingers point back at you. Not only ask other people to be
grateful to you, ask yourself whether you have been grateful to other
people. The old lady did not even complain about the guy eating her
biscuits !
