Life Lessons: A couple in a sinking ship!!

A teacher in a class was teaching about a cruise ship that met with an accident at sea. On the ship was a couple, who after having made their way to the lifeboat, realised that there was only space for one person left.

At this moment, the man pushed the woman behind him and jumped onto the lifeboat himself.

The lady looked very sad and started crying. Nevertheless, she stood on the sinking ship and shouted only one sentence to her husband.

The teacher stopped and asked, "What do you think she shouted?"

(Before we go further, Please think what she might have told her husband who had just jumped into a lifeboat leaving her behind)

Most of the students excitedly answered, "I hate you! I was blind! I should never have married you! My Parents and my friends warned me that this day will come soon, I was blind in your love"

The teacher noticed a boy who was silent throughout, she got him to answer and he replied, "Teacher, I believe she would have shouted - Take care of our child!"

The teacher was surprised, asking "Have you heard this story before?"

The boy shook his head, "Nope, but that was what my mum told my dad before she died to disease".

The teacher lamented, "The answer is right".

Everyone in the class was silent. There was a change in perception immediately.

The cruise sank, the man went home and brought up their daughter single-handedly.

Many years later after the death of the man, their daughter found his diary while tidying his belongings.

It turns out that when parents went onto the cruise ship, the mother was already diagnosed with a terminal illness.

At the critical moment, the father rushed to the only chance of survival.

He wrote in his diary, "How I wished to sink to the bottom of the ocean with you, but for the sake of our daughter, I can only let you lie forever below the sea alone".

A simple morale of the story is this, " Each one of us is a centre of the universe for so many of our loved ones. And our loved ones have sacrificed so much to bring us to where we are today. So, never ever only focus on the surface and judge others without understanding the entire situation".
