Read Aloud: Inspiration

0

A crippled, toothless and blind old woman was once spotted by a young gentleman, by the side of a road. Amazing thing about the woman was that, she seemed glad and content as she sat eating a bowl of porridge. She would pause and laugh and sing for a while before taking in a spoonful of the meal. The young man had never found such happiness for a long time with all of his plush and wealth. He always felt unaccomplished in his career and was sad that he was an orphan with no family and loved ones.
He drew nearer to the old woman and greeted. She responded with a broad smile and asked how she may help him. This also amazed him, for he had expected her to ask him for alms which she did not. She offered him a seat beside her on which he sat reluctantly. Then, he was propelled to ask her, “Mom, what makes you so happy this morning”. The woman let out a chuckle and said,”There is a joy deep within my heart that has not been stolen by my adversaries despite they took my sight, teeth, and legs. My life is enough guarantee for happiness. I have the gift of long life, and they can’t take that away from me.” This response of the woman shocked the man. She later told him how his children and husband had been killed in a war in the country where she lived. So they had things in common, he thought. She told him that she used to be frail and downhearted, till it dawned greatly on her that, there was no need to feel that way. She found her innermost joy and happiness and hope in matters relating to life; That, once a? person continues to exist, that was enough reason to feel superior of oneself. She encouraged the young man to let nothing come between his happiness in life, for none can buy a precious thing as life with money. Sometimes, we need people to comfort and console us through hard times, but mostly, you have to be your own source of inspiration.
The young man began to understand all that the woman was saying from his own point view. He realized that he had been missing a great virtue of life(happiness). He had everything that the woman lacked; sight, legs, a lovely set of teeth to smile with, and millions to spend. He took this woman home and with his money and through clinical operations and surgery, the old woman regained her sight, a set of artificial teeth, and could walk after undergoing some therapies. Atlas! He had someone he could call mother. He found a lovely wife with her help and they started a blessed family.
Call it fate, coincidence, luck, fairy tale, however way. I only want to sound a word of encouragement to you ears that, All is Well! Just believe, and stay as happy as you can. A story that will change your life is on its way,and so is help coming. Don’t scare it away with that gloomy look on your face. ONCE THERE IS LIFE, THERE IS HOPE. Keep being that happy fellow. Cheers!? To Happiness forever!!
