A touching Psychiatrist's story with a good Moral.
Price of Happiness is..
This story is about a beautiful,
expensively dressed lady who complained to her psychiatrist that she felt that
her whole life was empty; it had no meaning.
So the counselor called over the old lady who
cleaned the office floors, and then said to the rich lady, I am going to ask
Mary here to tell you how she found. All I want you to do is to listen to her.
So the old lady put down her broom and sat on a
chair and told her story: Well, my husband died of malaria and three months
later my only son was killed by a car. I had nobody. I had nothing left. I
could not sleep; I could not eat; I never smiled at anyone, I even thought of
taking my own life.
Then one evening a little kitten followed me home
from work. Somehow I felt sorry for that kitten. It was cold outside, so I
decided to let the kitten in. I got it some milk, and it licked the plate
clean. Then it purred and rubbed against my leg, and for the first time in
months, I smiled. Then I stopped to think; if helping a little kitten could
make me smile, maybe doing something for people could make me happy. So the
next day I baked some biscuits and took them to a neighbor who was sick in bed.
Every day I tried to do something nice for someone.
It made me so happy to see them happy. Today, I do not know of anybody who
sleeps and eats better than I do. I have found happiness, by giving it to
others.
When she heard that, the rich lady cried. She had
everything that money could buy, but she had lost the things which money cannot
buy.
