The Echo of Life

Nikki Kumar, 18.03.08

A man and his son were walking in the forest. Suddenly the boy trips and feeling a sharp pain he screams, "Ahhhh" Surprised, he hears a voice from the mountain, "Ahhhh!" Filled with curiosity, he screams: "Who are you?"; but the only answer he receives is: "Who are you?";. This made the boy angry so he screamed: "You're a coward!" and the voice answers, "You're a coward!";

He looks at his father, asking, "Dad, what is going on?"; "Son"; the main replies, "pay attention!"; Then he screams, "I admire you!"; The voice answers: "I admire you!"; The father shouts, "You are wonderful!"; and the voice answers: "You are wonderful!"

The boy is surprised, but still can't understand what is going on. The father explains by saying, "People call this an echo but I call this life!"

"Life always gives you back what you give out. Life is a mirror of your actions. If you want more love, give more love. If you want more kindness, give more kindness! If you want people to be patient and respectful to you then do the same. This rule of nature applies to every aspect of our lives."
