Man Pushes Wife To Save Himself From A Sinking Cruise Ship. But The Reality Is Priceless.
Man Pushes Wife To Save Himself From A Sinking Cruise Ship. But The
Reality Is Priceless.
A teacher was tutoring a class of students when she relayed a
story about a cruise ship capsized while at sea, and on the ship was a couple that
managed to make their way to a lifeboat but realized there was only space for one. You’ll never guess what
lesson they learned from the story.
A
cruise ship met with an incident at sea. On the ship was a couple, after having
made their way to the lifeboat, they realized that there was only space for one person left.
At
this moment, the man pushed the woman behind him and jumped onto the lifeboat himself.
The
lady stood on the sinking ship and shouted one sentence to her husband.
The
teacher stopped and asked, “What do you think she shouted?”
Most
of the students excitedly answered, “I hate you! I was blind!”
Now,
the teacher noticed a boy who was silent throughout, she got him to answer and he replied, “Teacher, I believe
she would have shouted – Take care of our child!”
The
teacher was surprised, asking “Have you heard this story before?”
The
boy shook his head, “Nope, but that was what my mom told my dad before she died
to disease”.
The
teacher lamented, “The answer is right”.
The
cruise ship sunk. The man went home and brought up their daughter
single-handedly.
Many
years later after the death of the man, their daughter found his diary while
tidying his belongings.
It
turns out that when parents went onto the cruise ship, the mother was already
diagnosed with a terminal illness. At the critical moment, the father rushed to
the only chance of survival.
He
wrote in his diary, “How I wished to sink to the bottom of the ocean with you,
but for the sake of our daughter, I can only let you lie forever below the sea
alone”.
The
story is finished, the class was silent.
The
teacher knows that the student has understood the moral of the story,
that of the good and the evil in the world, there are many complications behind
them which are hard to understand.
Which
is why we should never only focus on the surface and judge others without
understanding them first.
Those
who like to pay the bill, do so not because
they are loaded but because they value friendship above money.
Those
who take the initiative at work, do so not because they are
stupid but because they understand the concept of responsibility.
Those
who apologize first after a fight, do so not because they are wrong but because
they value the people around them.
Those
who are willing to help you, do so not because they owe you anything but
because they see you as a true friend.
Those
who often text you, do so not because they have nothing better to do but
because you are in their heart.
One
day, all of us will get separated from each other; we will miss our
conversations of everything and nothing; the dreams that we had. Days will pass
by, months, years, until this contact becomes rare… One day our children will see our pictures and ask “Who are these people?” And we
will smile with invisible tears because a heart is touched with a strong word
and you will say: “It was them that I had the best days of my life with.”
