WHEN A LIZARD CAN, WHY CAN'T WE?

I Felt Guilty And Almost Shed Tears...4real!

This is a true story that happened in Japan.
In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan breaks open the wall. Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls. 

When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside hammered into one of it's feet. He sees this, feels pity, and at the same time curious, as when he checked the nail, it was nailed 5 years ago when the house was first built!

What happened? The lizard has survived in such position for 5 years! in a dark wall partition for 5 years without moving, it is impossible and mind boggling. Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 5 years! without moving a single step - since it's foot was nailed!

So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it has been doing to survive. Suddenly, another lizard appears with food in its mouth! the Japanese builder was stunned and deeply touched. For the lizard that was stuck by nail, another lizard has been feeding it for the past 5 years... It has been doing that untiringly for 5 long years, without giving up hope on its partner.

Imagine what a small creature can do and humans blessed with a brilliant minds can't. Please never abandon your loved ones. Never say you're too busy when they really need you.

You may have the entire world at your feet but you might be the only one in their world.
A Moment of negligence might break the very heart which loved you against all odds. Before you say something just remember..it takes a moment to break but an entire lifetime to make.

Imagine? it has been doing that untiringly for 10 long years, without giving up hope on its partner.

Think, will u do that to your partner? Think that will you do it to your Mom, Who brought you after a big struggle of Nine long months? Or at least to your Dad, Friends, Co-workers, brothers and Sisters?

As information and communication technology advances, our access to information becomes faster and faster. But the distance between human beings . . . is it getting closer as well? ...Please never abandon your loved ones.

A powerful metaphor, this story brings to mind humanitarian aid to oppressed regions. We can give and give, bringing in supplies, food and medicine, but the people cannot be free unless they are released from burdens imposed by despots, “the nail.” To really make a difference, we have to figure out how to solve the root cause. Yes, we are one world, one tribe. I only wish that each of us could live by this ideal.
