loved ones

I was immersed in the work of lunching my website a couple of days before. I was surfing the web for a quote on value. This proverb caught my attention.

“You never know the worth of water until the well is dry” An English proverb

I didn’t mean that we do not know the meaning of the above. At times I (we) forget to pay attention for small things around me. I know myself as a person who shouts all day at the loved ones for not doing certain things. My mother used to prepare my favorite dish spending hours where by oversight she would have added a little salt (tolerable). I would blame her for that saying that she does not know cooking.

I usually shout at my wife for not ironing my shirt properly questioning whether that was how her mother had thought her to do things. And at each stage I keep complaining and shouting.

I realize my folly only when both of them are not at home and I have to do things myself. That is only when I value the effort both of them put to keep me happy. I realize the worth of them and decide not to do it again and to confront when they come home.

The moment they come back I’m the same person as before forgetting what I had decided to do. I hope this is the case at every door step.

Things can be changed. Let’s be focused on how to change our reaction considering the effort the others put and experience a different response form others. I had tried and experienced a positive response till now let’s not wait till the 11^th hour and say “Oh god not again”.
