Today i will tell you a story. One day a village is taken by
storms and heavy rain.The stormy winds and the water was dangerous, it started
from morning, from morning to dawn and from dawn to night, it did not seem to
stop the fury. Outside the village there were few people. Due the the fury of
wind and the rain they took shelter under a tree. The lightening would come
near the tree they took the shelter and would be about to strike and return.
This happened four to five times. Thus the tree would not fall, as the
lightening did not actually strike the tree.
One of the people who
took the shelter under the tree said that one of them was suppose to die that
day and that was the reason that the lightening was nearing the strike on the
tree and returning. If that person is removed from beneath the tree the rest
will be saved or else everyone else will have to die due to that person's
destiny.
A female ask how they
would know who that person was? A man came up with an idea. He said that one by
one each one would go to near by tree and return. Who ever was destined to die
will be struck by the lightening and will meet the end, and the rest will be
saved. Every one liked the suggestion. And one by one everyone began to go to
the tree on the opposite side with fear of being struck with the deadly
lightening and when it did not happen would come back with joy that he was not
the one destined to meet the end that day. This happened until only a poor girl
was left to go to the other tree.
All the other people
now believing themselves to be lucky one's began to verbally attack the girl
that, she was the one destined to meet the end and they were in danger of
losing their lives due to her. She was apparently pushed with hatred to the
other tree. Something happened which they were not thinking about, while they
were waiting to see the lightening strike on the poor girl and kill her.
The agony and the
compassion of death coming to a human was over casted by the fear of themselves
meeting the death. What happened was that the lightening struck the tree they
were standing beneath, and all met the end. It was due to that girl's destiny
that the lightening was not striking the tree. Once she was forced by them to
the other tree, the lightening struck and they met their end. On the girls face
was the agony of them meeting the end rather than her getting saved.
It was this girl
because of whom they were saved until she was pushed. And their way of thinking
made them move away from the destiny which was saving them.
Nice one :-)
