Food for thought

A lady was waiting for her flight at the airport.
Since she would need to wait many hours, she
decided to buy a book and a packet of cookies
to spend her time. She sat down in an
armchair, in the VIP room of the airport, to
rest and read in peace. Beside the armchair
where the packet of cookies lay, a man was
seated in the next seat, he opened his
magazine and started reading.When she took
out the first cookie, the man took one also.
She felt irritated but said nothing. She just
thought: “What a nerve! If I was in the mood I
would punch him for daring!”For each cookie
she took, the man took one too. This was
infuriating her but she didn’t want to cause a
scene. When only one cookie remained, she
thought: “ah… What would this abusive man
do now?”Then, the man, taking the last cookie,
divided it into half, giving her one half. Ah!
That was too much! She was much too angry
now! Angrily she took her things and stormed
out of there. When she sat down in her seat,
inside the plane, she looked into her purse to
take her eyeglasses, and to her surprise, her
packet of cookies was there, untouched,
unopened!She felt so ashamed! She realized
that she was wrong. She had forgotten that
her cookies were kept in her purse.The man
had divided his cookies with her, without
feeling angered or bitter. “While she had been
very angry, thinking that she wasdividing her
cookies with him.And now there was no
chance to explain herself, nor to
apologize.”Ther e are 4 things that you cannot
recover: The stone after the throw! The word
after it’s said! The occasion after the loss! The
time after it’s gone.
Cherish Every Moment and Fill It With Love
and Care For Everyone. Hope you learned
something from this?
