Splendid Message
A splendid message……… something that all of us can share with our peers…..
Eight Children were standing on the track to participate in the running event.
* Ready! * Steady! * Bang!!!
With the sound of the Toy pistol, all eight girls started running.
Hardly had they covered ten to fifteen steps, when one of the smaller girls slipped and fell down, and she started crying.
When the other seven girls heard this sound, they stopped running, stood for awhile and turned back,
They all ran back to the spot where the girl had fallen down.
One among them bent, picked and kissed the girl gently and said - `now the pain must have reduced’. All seven girls lifted the fallen girl, pacified her, two of them held the girl firmly and all seven joined hands and walked together to the winning post.
Officials were shocked. Applause of thousands of spectators filled the stadium.
Many eyes were filled with tears!
YES. This happened in Hyderabad [INDIA], recently!
The meet was conducted by National Institute of Mental Health. All these special girls had come to participate in this event and they are spastic children.
Yes, they were supposed to be mentally challenged.
What did they teach this world?
Teamwork?? Humanity?? Equality among all ??
Most of all - LOVE and COMPASSION
Successful people help others who are slow in learning so that they are not left far behind. This is really a great message…spread it!
We can’t do this ever because we are not mentally challenged and claim to teach and help the mentally so called challenged.
HAVE YOU NOTICED HOW BLIND PEOPLE SMILE ALL THE TIME?
STOP ANY SORT OF MARGINALISATION IN SOCIETY.
Love and Compassion FOR ALL!!!
God Bless you all
