Adding Sweetness to life

Adding Sweetness to life

A youngster was served a cup of coffee by his mother, after tasting the coffee, he yelled at her for not adding sugar. His father requested to give him the cup and he took it to the kitchen to add some sugar.

He returned the coffee, gave it to his son, and said, " my dear son, just listen to my words."

By yelling at your mother, you have added bitterness to her life today; instead, if you said, " Mummy, coffee is strong and hot; however, I will add some sugar to it" your mother would have apologized and would have done it.

Look, my dear son, never sweeten your life by adding bitterness to other's life. You could have added some kindness to your mother by adding a spoon of sugar.

In life, trivial mistakes are an opportunity to prove your kindness, every day, we have a choice to add some sweetness to others' life as well as our life.

For example, if one person talks about ways another could improve, the listener might offer excuses such as a lack of time, resources, or support. Alternatively, they may bring up personal emotions, like health or family issues. These reactions often occur while the other person is still speaking, leading to a decreased understanding and an increased eagerness to defend one’s position. During this type of conversation, the listener may appear restless, exhibiting a lack of eye contact or head nodding. In such interactions, th...
