It will take just 60 seconds to read this and change
your thinking..
Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital
room.
One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour
each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs.
His bed was next to the room's only window.
The other man had to spend all his time flat on his
back.
The men talked for hours on end.
They spoke of their wives and families, their homes,
their jobs, their involvement in the military service,
where they had been on
vacation..
Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the
window could sit up, he would pass the time by
describing to his roommate all the things he could see
outside the window.
The man in the other bed began to live for those one
hour periods where his world would be broadened and
enlivened by all the activity and color of the world
outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.Ducks
and swans played on the water while children sailed
their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm
amidst flowers of every color
and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the
distance.
As the man by the window described all this in
exquisite details, the man on the other side of the room
would close his eyes and imagine this picturesque
scene.
One warm afternoon, the man by the window
described a parade passing by.
Although the other man could not hear the band -he
could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the
window portrayed it with
descriptive words.
Days, weeks and months passed.One morning, the day
nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find
the lifeless body
of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in
his sleep.
She was saddened and called the hospital attendants
to take the body away.
As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked
if he could be moved next to the window.The nurse
was happy to make the switch, and after making sure
he was comfortable, she left
him alone.
Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow
to take his first look at the real world outside. He
strained to slowly turn to look out the window besides
the bed.
It faced a blank wall.
The man asked the nurse what could have compelled
his deceased roommate who had described such
wonderful things outside this
window.
The nurse responded that the man was blind and
could not even see the wall.
She said, 'Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.'
Epilogue:
There is tremendous happiness in making others
happy, despite our own situations.Shared grief is half
the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled. If
you want to feel rich, just count all the things you
have that money can't buy.
'Today is a gift, that is why it is called The Present.
