She didn't know

[Heavyduty053]

               A certain man's boss drove a luxury car everyday and it was this young man's duty to greet him and to open gates for him. As he also worked as a watchman in his villa, his wealthy boss never responded back to his greetings with even as much as a grunt to acknowledge it. One day his boss saw him opening a garbage bag left outside the villa by the garbage can in search of left over food. The very next day he saw a brown paper bag by the gate, but this bag was clean and the food inside was covered well. It was fresh and tasteful like someone had just brought it there for him. He wasn't concerned where it came from, he just took the bag and was happy.

 

              Everyday he found a paper bag filled with delightful food and some fresh vegetables to carry home. This became a daily routine to find the bag there full of food to share with his wife and kids and it made them so happy. His kids didn't have much but they learned to do with what they had and was grateful. He always wondered who put it there everyday but never questioned the thoughts of kindness of someone.

 

              One day there was sadness in his villa and was told that his boss had died. There were to many guests coming to the villa and the bag of food did not appear. He thought that maybe one of the guest might have took it, but it was missing the 2nd day, the 3rd and 4th days also. It went on for several weeks and it became hard to feed his family again especially since they had gotten used to good and tasty food. So he decided to ask the bosses wife for a raise in his salary or else he would have to find another job. She didn't want to loose this trust worthy man that she had grown to fill comfortable around.  She ask him why he never complained that the salary her husband paid him wasn't enough. He finally decided to tell her the story of the bag of food each day and how it filled in for the short amount of money feeding his family.

 

               So she wanted to know when this bag of food stopped appearing. He told her the same day that her husband had died. He told her he never imagined it being his boss that left the bag there. It never occurred to him that a wealthy man that never said a word of acknowledgement would be so kind to give me a bag of food. She started to cry in front of him and he said, "why are you crying mam". His boss told his wife that he had been giving away bags of food to seven people and she had found six of them but had no idea who the seventh was. She had been searching everyday since his death and today the seventh was found.

 

               She hugged him and said she would carry on what her husband had been doing. From that day on her son would bring a extra bag of groceries and delivery them to my house, and just like his dad when he thanked him he never offered an acknowledgement of any kind.

 

               One day he hollowed in a loud voice just to see if something was wrong with his hearing and he replied back, do not be offended if I don't hear you, my dad and I both had hearing problems.

 

 

 

This is a good example of how one's mind can offer many excuses inside of us for when something is not how we think its supposed to be. Jumping to conclusions or judging others is something we shouldn't do and it takes self awareness and practice to keep from doing this to another person without finding the true story behind it. Many worries and misery is caused by how we handled a situation beforehand. Be careful, assuming can be dreadful and finding the truth may take a little more effort but less misery to live with.
