In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan breaks open the wall.
Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the 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 10 years ago when the house was! first built.
What happened?
The lizard has survived in such position for 10 years! In a dark wall
partition for 10 years without moving, it is impossible and
mind-boggling.
Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years! without moving
a
single step--since its foot was nailed!
So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it 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. Ah! He was
stunned
and touched deeply. For the lizard that was stuck by nail, another
lizard
has been feeding it for the past 10 years...
Imagine? it has been doing that untiringly for 10 long years, without
giving up hope on its partner.
Think, will u do that to your partner?
Think that will you do it to your Mom,
Who brought you after a big struggle of Nine long months ?
Or at least to your Dad, Friends, Co-workers, brothers and Sisters?
Imagine what a small creature can do that a creature blessed with a
brilliant mind can't.
As information and communication technology advances, our access to
information becomes faster and faster. But the distance between human
beings . . . is it getting closer as well?
