He Was Mad When His Rich Boss Ignored Him, But Was Shocked To Learn This by ettaetta(m): 1:05pm On Jun 04, 2016
a man learns a valuable lesson about judging others.
Read the heart-felt story below.

“My boss drove a luxury car everyday and it was
my duty to greet him and to open the gates for
him, as I worked as a watchman in his villa. But
he never responded back to my greetings.
One day he saw me opening the garbage bags
outside the villa in search for any leftover food.
But, as usual he never even looked at me, it was
like as if he never saw anything!
The very next day I saw a paper bag at the
same place, but it was clean and the food inside
was covered well. It was fresh and good food
like someone had just brought it from the
supermarket. I didn't bother as to where it came
from, I just took the paper bag and I was so
happy about it.
Every day I found this paper bag at the same
place with fresh vegetables and all that we
needed for home. This became my daily routine.
I was eating and sharing this food with my wife
and kids. I was wondering who this fool could
be?! To forget his paper bag full of fresh food
everyday.
One day there was a big problem in the villa and
I was told that my boss has died. There were
too many guests coming to the villa that day
and I didn't get any food that day, so I thought
that one of the guests must have taken it. But
the same thing happened the 2nd day, the 3rd
day and the 4th day.
It went on like this for a few weeks and I found
it difficult to provide food for my family, so I
decided to ask the wife of my boss for a raise in
my salary or else I would quit my job as a
watchman.
After I told her, she was shocked, and asked me,
how come you never complained about your
salary for the last 2 years? And why is this
salary not enough for you now? I gave her so
many excuses but she was never convinced!
Finally in the end, I decided to tell her the truth,
I told her the entire story of the bag of
groceries, and as to how it was my daily
provision. She then asked me as to when this
stopped? I told her after the death of her
husband. And then I realized that I stopped
seeing the paper bag immediately after the
death of my boss. Why didn't I ever think of this
before? That it was my boss who was providing
this for me? I guess it was because I never
thought that a person who never replied to my
greetings could ever be this generous!
His wife started to cry and I told her to please
stop crying and that I'm really sorry that I asked
for a raise, I didn't know that it was your
husband who was providing me with the meals,
I’ll remain as a watchman and be happy to
provide my service.
His wife told me, I'm crying because I've finally
found the 7th person my husband was giving
this bag full of food. I knew my husband was
giving 7 people everyday, I had already found
the 6 people, and all these days I was searching
for the 7th person. And today I found out.
From that day onwards, I started to receive the
bag full of food again, but this time his son was
bringing it to my house and giving it to my hand.
But whenever I thanked him, he never replied!
Just like his dad!
One day, I told him THANK YOU in a very loud
voice! He replied back to me to please not be
offended when he doesn't reply, because he has
a hearing problem, just like his dad!”
Oh! We have been wrong so many times judging
others without knowing the true story behind
their actions. Be kind and courteous in dealing
with others, for everyone is fighting a hard
battle. Be careful, not everything is about you.
Before you assume, there is this thing called
ASKING.
Don’t just jump to conclusion, because that is
truly not an exercise, it may cause you more
harm at the end of the day. Many of our
problems are caused by how we process what
happens around us. Don’t judge a situation you
have never been in. Be humble enough to learn.
You do not know it all. Lets change the way we
feel about ourselves and others.
There are two sides to a story. Don’t believe
everything you hear.
Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know
nothing about

Seen this story before. I got the message but wasn't impressed that it had to be passed across with such lie grin
