Vow Not to Misunderstand Any Creature here After and Believe in God

There is a legend of a woman who had a faithful dog. This dog was so

faithful that the woman could leave her baby with it and go out to

attend other matters. She always returned to find the child soundly

asleep with the dog faithfully watching over him...

One day something tragic happened. The woman as usual, left the baby in

the "hands" of this faithful dog and went out shopping. When she

returned, she discovered rather a nasty scene. There was a total mess.

The baby's cot was dismantled and his nappies and clothes torn to shreds

with bloodstains all over the bedroom where she had left the child and

the dog.

Shocked, the woman wailed as she began looking for the baby. Presently,

she saw the faithful dog emerging from the under the bed. It was covered

with blood and licking its mouth as it had just finished a delicious

meal.

The woman went berserk and assumed that the dog had devoured her baby.

Without much thought she clubbed the dog to death. But as she continued

searching for the "remains" of her child, she beheld another scene.

Close to the bed was the baby who, although lying on bare floor, was

safe. And under the bed the carcass of a jackal torn to pieces in what

must have been a fierce battle between it and the dog which was now

dead.

Then the reality hit the woman who now began to understand what took

place in her absence. The dog fought to protect the baby from the

ravenous jackal. It was too late for her now to make amends because in

her impatience and anger, she had killed the faithful dog. A dog

deserving praise and adoration that fought to save the life of her dear

beloved child received death in return.

How often have we misjudged people and torn them to shreds with harsh

words and even with physical assault before we have had time to evaluate

the situation? It is called the sin of presumption. Presuming things are

one way without taking the trouble to find out exactly what the

situation really is. A little patience can drastically reduce major life

long errors.

More points to ponder:



1. A ship in harbour is safe, but that is not what ships are built for!

2. Intelligence is like underwear. It is important that you have it, but
not necessary that you show it off!

3. If your dreams determine your future, why not go to sleep now?

4. When the only tool you own is a hammer, every problem begins to look
like a nail!

5. Never test the depth of the water with both feet
