How should you react to an event?

An incident from a few years ago.

It happened at one of the busiest railway stations in the country. A train was just arriving.

There was a moderate crowd in the train, with passengers heading to various destinations. Among them, a young man was hanging onto the window and loudly describing everything he saw outside, one after the other. His father was standing beside him, watching.

Gradually, the other passengers started getting irritated. Some began murmuring in annoyance.

After some time, one of the passengers asked the father, “Does your son have any mental issues? If so, it might be better to consult a doctor.”

The father replied with a smile, “We are coming straight from the hospital. My son was blind since birth. A few days ago, he underwent an eye surgery. This morning, the bandage was removed. He is seeing the world for the very first time! That’s why he is so excited and shouting like this.”

Hearing this, the other passengers felt ashamed. They apologized to the father.

Moral: What we see with our eyes and hear with our ears may not always be the complete truth.

It often depends on the situation and context. That’s why we must always try to make decisions with understanding and compassion.
