*Most Important Part of the Body!!! * My mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body is. Through the years I would take a guess at what I thought was the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, *"My ears, Mommy." * She said, *"No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon." * Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated the correct answer. So. This time I told her, *"Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes." * She looked at me and told me, *"You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind." *
Stumped again, I continued my quest for knowledge and over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, *"No. But you are getting smarter every year, my child." * Then one year, my grandfather died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. Even my father cried. I remember that especially because it was only the second time I saw him cry. My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final good-bye to my grandfather. She asked me, *"Do you know the most important body part y**et, my dear?"* I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told me, "*This question is very important**. * *It shows that you have really lived in your life. * *For every body part you gave me in the past, I have told you were wrong and I have given you an example why. * *But today, is the day you need to learn this important lesson." * She looked down at me as only a mother can. I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, *"My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder." * I asked, *"Is it because it holds up my head?" * She replied*,* *"No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or a loved one when they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime i**n life, my dear. * *I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will always have a shoulder to cry on when you need it." * *Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one. * *It is made for others and not for yourself. * *It is sympathetic to the pain of others. * *People will forget what you said. * *People will forget what you did. * *But people will NEVER forget how you made them feel. * <http://www.incredimail.com/?id=606430&rui=129947551&sd=20110112> -- you have this email because you join to "aga-madjid" GoogleGroups. to post emails, just send to : [email protected] to join this group, send blank email to : [email protected] to quit from this group, just send email to : [email protected] please visit to www.facebook.com/aga.madjid, add my Yahoo Messenger at [email protected] or add my twitter @aga_madjid thanks for joinning this group.
