Dear Geetha Nair

Thanks for the story. But I take the moral as that every man as a Father should stay and see that his child (boy or girl) is attained the status that they can stand on their own by giving moral support, education that suit to their ability and need, and protect them till then. Then the same God will protect the so called Father too in his duty. Where is the roll for the Mother who delivered the child? I personally feel both -Father and Mother- should support and may God bless all children to have their parents for staying behind them.

We all can infer different moral from the same story. Is it not?

Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage? His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone. He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help to anyone. Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some human might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man! Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him. He had been at watch the entire night, protecting his son from harm. We, too, are never alone. Even when we don't know it, God is watching over us, sitting on the stump beside us. When trouble comes, all we have to do is reach out to Him. If you liked this story, pass it on. If not, you took off your blindfold before dawn. Moral of the story: Just because you can't see God, doesn't mean He is not there. "For we walk by faith, not by sight." God Bless. Geetha Nair
