"What do you think I am?", she shouted.

"Why don't you ever listen to me? Please give some time to explain myself", he said in a polite voice.

"Do you think I'm going to buy all the crap that you are going to tell me?"

"Dear, please listen to me!"
"No! We will get divorced. It's over!"

Before he could say anything, she was already gone. She slammed the door and stormed out of the home.

He sat on the couch with a heavy heart with his face buried in his hands.
He wanted to lighten his heart and desperately needed someone to listen to.

After some time, he decided to talk to someone and wanted to tell his reasons.

He opened a website where there are anonymous trained listeners to someone who feels lonely and has no one to confide in.

He requested for someone to listen.
A name appeared
Sunshine
They started chatting..

Sunshine: Hello, glad you chose us. You are at the right place. Welcome.
How are you?

He: Thank you.
I'm not doing that great these days. It has been the toughest phase in my life. My wife wouldn't listen to me and she wants a divorce.

Sunshine: I'm sorry to hear this. If you feel comfortable, could you please let me know what has been happening between you and your wife?

He: She wouldn't listen to me and we disagree on every small thing that we get to do together.
She was very compassionate and loved me a lot before. I don't know what has happened to her recently. She is completely into her career and she doesn't even let me know what she's been upto. She has stopped giving a primary care that any person would need.

Sunshine: Okay. So you primarily feel disconnected with her. And it is bothering you a lot.

He: I know that I have also been busy recently and hadn't been able to give her enough attention. But I have reasons which are pretty simple & straight and she'd definitely understand if she talks to me.

Sunshine: Okay. I understand the situation you are in.

He: Today morning she told me that she wants a divorce.
I don't have an affair with anyone as she has assumed.

I love her. I want to talk to her through this.
However, I would give her a divorce if she wants it.
I'd do anything to make her happy.

Sunshine: Okay..

He sends her some more messages, but there is no further reply.

He waits for a few minutes. Closes the laptop and gets immersed in his own thoughts.

He suddenly hears a car being parked outside his home.
She comes running and hugs him.
"I'm sorry dear. I should have listened to you.

I understood that you needed to talk. I'm sorry. Its my fault to have excessively concentrated on my career depriving you of even a primary care.
I was just terribly angry because you were ignoring me. But now when you wanted to talk, I wasn't there.

I should be ashamed to say that I got myself trained in listening to other people while I never had patience for my significant other.

I was talking to a guy this morning who was completely disappointed by his wife.
I felt his love for his wife while giving counselling to him.
I left the conversation & came running to you.
I love you!"

He hugged her and asked, "What is your name on the website? Is it Sunshine?"
She answered, "No!"

Silence.

"It means.. you talked about me with Sunshine?
So, you have found someone to talk to.."

He didn't know whether he had to feel happy that she had come back or feel sad that he again initiated an infinite loop.

THE END 

Once a group of fifty people was taking part in a meeting. The meeting, which began just a few minutes ago was interrupted by the speaker suddenly and he gave balloons to all the participants
 and  said, "you all have to write your name on a balloon by the marker". everybody did so.

Now the balloons were placed in another room.
The speaker asked all the participant to enter that room together and find the balloon with their name  in five minutes

All participants walked into the room and quickly began to find the balloon with their name soon it created great chaos in the room.

Confused not getting the balloon with their name written on it 5 minutes later everybody was called out of that room by the speaker.

The speaker said, "Hey! what happen? why you are all empty-handed?
Did no body found the balloon with his name on it?
No ! We searched a lot but every time found a balloon with someone else's name written on it.
said a participant sadly.

It's alright, you people go into that room again, but this time whichever balloon comes to your hand take it and call the person whose name is written on it. said the speaker

All participants were in the room again, but this time all was quiet, and there was no panic in the room.
Everybody gave each other the balloons with their names on it, and came out in just three minutes

In a grave tone, speaker said,

"That's exactly what is taking place in our lives.
Everyone is living for themselves, it makes no sense to him how he can help others he just seems to be looking like crazy for his own happiness and finds nothing but disappointments

 Our happiness is hidden in the happiness of others

When you learn to give others their happiness
You will find your own happiness automatically then.

And that's the purpose of human life.

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. 
He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. 
However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the
 door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought
 he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it
 slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” 
“You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness.” He said…”Then I thank you from my heart.”
 As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.

Year’s later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her ward. Dressed in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. 
He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to the case. After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, and then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room.
 She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her
 life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her
 attention on the side of the bill. 
She read these words… “Paid in full with one glass of milk.

Once a psychology professor walked around on a stage while teaching stress management principles to an auditorium filled with students.  As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they’d be asked the typical “glass half empty or glass half full” question.  Instead, with a smile on her face, the professor asked, “How heavy is this glass of water I’m holding?”

Students shouted out answers ranging from eight ounces to a couple pounds.

She replied, “From my perspective, the absolute weight of this glass doesn’t matter.  It all depends on how long I hold it.  If I hold it for a minute or two, it’s fairly light.  If I hold it for an hour straight, its weight might make my arm ache a little.  If I hold it for a day straight, my arm will likely cramp up and feel completely numb and paralyzed, forcing me to drop the glass to the floor.  In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it feels to me.”

As the class shook their heads in agreement, she continued, “Your stresses and worries in life are very much like this glass of water.  Think about them for a while and nothing happens.  Think about them a bit longer and you begin to ache a little.  Think about them all day long, and you will feel completely numb and paralyzed – incapable of doing anything else until you drop them.”

The moral:  It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses and worries.  No matter what happens during the day, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down.  Don’t carry them through the night and into the next day with you.  If you still feel the weight of yesterday’s stress, it’s a strong sign that it’s time to put the glass down.

A man stopped by a florist's stall to order some flowers to be delivered to his mother who lived three hundred miles away.

As he moved out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on a bench sobbing.

He asked her what's the matter? Why she is so sad?  and she replied, "I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother.

But all I have is eighty-five cents, and a rose costs three dollars."

The man smiled and said, "Come with me. I'll buy you a rose."

He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother's flowers.

As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home.

She said, "Yes, please! You can take me to my mother."

She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave.

The man returned to the florist, canceled the delivery order, picked up a bouquet and drove the three hundred miles to his mother's house.
