Why Can't We?

The following was sent to me in an email…I don’t know if it’s a true story or not but I really like the moral of the story.

When A Lizard Can, Why Can't We?

This is, I'm told, a true story that happened in Japan.



Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls.  In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan breaks open the wall. 
 
 
When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside hammered into one of it's feet.
 
He sees this, feels pity, and at the same time curious, as when he checked the nail, it was nailed 5 years ago when the house was first built !!!
 
What happened?
 
The lizard has survived in such position for 5 years!!!!!!!!!!
 
In a dark wall partition for 5 years without moving, it is impossible and mind-boggling.
 

 
Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 5 years without moving a single step--since it's foot was nailed!
 
So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it has been doing, and what and how it has been eating.
 

 
Later, not knowing from where it came, appears another lizard, with food in its mouth.
 
Ah! He was stunned and touched deeply.
 
For the lizard that was stuck by nail, another lizard has been feeding it for the past 5 years...
 

Imagine? it has been doing that untiringly for 5 long years, without giving up hope on its partner.
 

Imagine what a small creature can do that a creature blessed with a brilliant mind can't.
 

Please never abandon your loved ones…

Never Say you're Busy When They Really Need You ...

You May Have The Entire World At Your Feet.....

But You Might Be The Only World To Them....

A Moment of negligence might break the very heart which loved you against all odds.

Before you say something just remember...it takes a moment to break but an entire lifetime to make...

  4. Yes love is strong. I really like these moral stories, the name in English I cannot remember right now. And love is a tro way street of course. Not just giving food, doin the dishes, cleaning everyones mess. I wonder what the lizard in pain gave back. Maybe he had given her so much before these five years, who knows.
    You not only make me laugh often, but think as well Cat. I like that. Thank you.
