WHEN YOU KNOW THE TRUTH

When You Know The Truth
The train has started moving. It is packed
with people of all ages, mostly working men
and women and young college guys and
gals. Near the window, sat an old man with
his 30-year-old son.
As the train moves, the son is overwhelmed
with joy because he is thrilled by the
scenery outside.
"See dad, the scenery of green trees moving
away is very beautiful."
This behavior from the thirty-year-old son
made the other people on the train feel
strange about him. Everyone started
murmuring something or other about this
son.
"This guy seems to be a crack," newly
married Anup whispered to his wife.
Suddenly it started raining. Raindrops fell on
the travelers through the opened window.
The thirty-year-old, filled with joy said, "
See dad, how beautiful the rain is..."
Anup's wife became irritated with the
raindrops, as they were dropping on her new
suit and spoiling it.
"Anup, can't you see it's raining? You. Old
man. If your son is not feeling well, get him
to a mental asylum soon and don't disturb
the public henceforth."
The old man hesitated first and then in a
low tone replied, "We are on the way back
from hospital. My son was discharged this
morning. He was blind at birth. Only last
week he regained his vision. Rain and
nature are new to his eyes. Please forgive
us for the inconvenience caused.

The things we see may be right, from our
perspective, until we know the truth. But
when we know the truth, our reaction to that
will hurt even us. So try to understand the
problem better before taking a harsh action.
