A child came weeping to his mother. On seeing tears in her son's eyes the mother could not resist herself asking what the reason was. The child said that his friends enjoyed things they had and that he wanted to have them too.
Mother:What is it they have and u don't have?
Son: They have pocket video games, bicycles etc. While they enjoy it I sit there like a fool.
Mother: Let them enjoy what they have. You can't have everything what others have and others also cannot have everything that you have.
Son:(shouting) NO MOM! Don't you think I should be bought a bicycle and a video game?
Mother:I don't think it is necessary son. What if your friends would have few more things than they have right now? Then you will ask for those things too. So its better to be yourself; let others enjoy what they have, you enjoy with what u have.
Son: And can you please tell me dear Mom what i have to enjoy? I am sick hearing "Enjoy what u have." I have NOTHING. I am a fool. Tell me what I have?
Mother: (realizing that the son is not getting her tried to find a way that would make him understand) Okay dear son! I accept you don't have those things your friends have. And I promise I will buy for you those things.
Son:Oh! Really mom? I love you mom. You are so kind.
Mom: But not so simply, there is a condition.
Son: Oh! what condition, Mom?
Mother: Just a simple condition. Stop loving me and you can have the video game.
Son: Oh mom, stop playing tricks. You know I can't do that.
Mother:Okay. You can have the bicycle too, then?
Son: I don't think I can do that.
Mother: Okay. You can have the computer too. Then?
Son:A COMPUUTERRRR? Really? But, no, still I m afraid I can't stop loving u MOM.
Mother: Dear son! From the past ten minutes I have been asking you for things you want and you are denying the offers. Why?
Son: Because you are applying a condition too, mom.
Mother: So? Accept it and have things you always dreamt for. Don't you love them?
Son:NOT AT ALL, MOM! Because these things are of no value to me if I don't have you. You understand that? I don't want anything. I just want you. Okay?
Mother: I think you got what I wanted. You have your mom's love and it is valuable than everything else in your life. You yourself said that, didn't you?
Son:Sorry, mom. Now I realized how unimportant these materialistic things are. The important one is your parents' and your family's love.
Mother: I am happy you got my point dear son. Um, I think you are not too bad to have a bicycle or a video game.
Son: Really? Oh thanks mom. I love u so much.
***********The end*************
So, dear friends! It is not necessary that you should have all those things that others have. Be content with what you have. I hope u all enjoyed it.
