Relationships are based on simple interactions between living things including man. They merge into complex relations between them. Understanding of these and their lighter side can make ones life brighter.

The rich and the poor
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son
How was the trip?
It was great, Dad.
Did you see how poor people live? the father asked.
Oh yeah, said the son.
So, tell me, what you learned from the trip? asked the father.
The son answered:
I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end…
…We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.
Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond
…We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.
We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to protect us; they have friends to protect them
The boy's father was speechless
Then his son added,
Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are
Isn't perspective a wonderful thing?
Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have
Appreciate every single thing you have!
Refresh your perspective and appreciation

Who said only humans know what love is?
Yes, animals are more deluded because of their capacity of their physical body, but
occasionally some of them might be able show us the love that we have forgotten on
our 'busy road'. Just like this story.
this is real touching
Hey, wake up! wake up!
A dog was knocked down by a car and died on the middle of the road. Later, another dog is
seen beside the corpse of the dog, he tried to wake his friend up using his leg.
Let's move to the safer side of the road...i will move you to the safer side!
When his attempts to wake his friend failed, he tried to push his friend to the side of the
road. But the weight of his friend was proven too heavy for him.
Anyone help, tell me what to do.
Though the traffic is busy and dangerous, he just will not go away from his friend. Just
stand beside his friend howling and crying.
