20．A boy Was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage．They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes．When the boy was around two years old，one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open．He was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard．The mother，concentrated in the kitchen，totally forget the matter．
The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle and，fascinated with its color，drank it all．It happen to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages（剂量）．When the child fell down，the mother hurried him to the hospital，where he died． The mother was unconscious． She was terrified how to face her husband．
When the anxious father came to the hospital and saw the dead child，he looked at his wife and uttered just four words．What do you think were the four words？The husband just said"I love you darling．"
The hussband's totally unexpected reaction is proactive（积极主动的） behavior．The child is dead．He can never be brought back to life．There is no point in finding fault with the mother．Besides，if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away，this would have happened．No point in attaching blame．She had also lost her only．What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband．That is what he gave her．
Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or who to blame，whether in a relationship，in a job or with the people we know．We miss out some warmth in human relationship in giving eachother support．After all，shouldn't forgiving someone we love be the easiest thing in the world to do？Treasure what you have．Don't increase pain and suffering by holding on to forgiveness．
If everyone can look at life with this kind of judgment，there would be much fewer problems is the world．
Take off all your envies，jealousies，unwillingness to forgive，selfishness，and fears and you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think．
