I wish to thank all those friends who have sincerely tried to answer the earlier questions and i am sure, the persons who asked those questions would have read the answers from different angles/paths and benefitted.<br><br>----------------------------\ ----<br><br> An artist painted a beautiful picture but thought before presenting it to king, he should take advice of people, if it was really beautiful.<br><br> He put the picture outside his house and put a sign-board near it saying ," Dear onlookers if you feel there is a fault in the picture, please put a cross mark on that so that i can re-do it-thanks"<br><br> Next day when he saw the picture, he started weeping, because the whole canvass was full with innumerable cross marks. different people found different faults in the picture and thus his picture was spoilt by the crosses.<br><br> He made another picture, and on the advice of his wife put the following sign-board near the picture.<br><br> " Dear onlookers, here is a picture of mine for your comments. If you feel there is a fault in the picture there is a color box lying nearby...kindly correct the fault - thanks"<br><br> Lo & Behold....next day the picture was untouched...no one in the city found any fault in it...and those who found one did not know how to draw.<br><br> <br>So let us not put cross on others pictures...if we can not correct <br><br>Hari Aum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 Thank you Silentsoul, for the wonderful story. people can be so quick to judge. Only one can create should be allowed to destroy.<br>Reminds me of a story that I have heard from the life of Jesus. <br><br>One lady was dragged to Jesus. Earlier that morning she had been surprised in the arms of her lover, and hauled in front of Jesus while he was teaching in the temple. "Should we stone her for adultery," the Pharisees sneered, hoping to expose Jesus' legendary mercy. "Let the one among you who is without sin cast the first stone," Jesus replied. And when they had all slunk away, one by one, Jesus knelt down to where the woman was crouching. "Where are your accusers?" he asked. "Gone," she said. "Then I don't pronounce sentence upon you either," he told her. "Go," he said, "and sin no more". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
