FOR THE SAKE OF GRUDGE.

In my lifetime, I have realized that humans find it quite hurtful to forgive and forget the hurt done to us by the ones we love. So,  I'll tell you a short  story.

.
The husband was home already. When he perfunctorily checked his phone, his wife had called him thrice. He disregarded calling her back out of malice. The wife drove in some forty minutes later. He saw Usman opening the gate for her as his phone went on ringing. He checked it. It was his wife. She was in her car at the garage
already. What is she calling me for? Foolish and stubborn wife! He said and ignored her calls. The call went on for a while. He ignored it as he sat with the TV.Thirty minutes later, she did not come in. Something told him to go and check. Is she still in the car? Yes she must be there. He called Usman, Is madam in the car? Few minutes later, Usman rushed in. Madam dey sleep inside the car o! That was when he woke up and rushed downstairs. Asthma! She was Asthmatic! Could she be having her usual attack? Could she have forgotten her inhaler?He quickly took the inhaler and rushed downstairs. When he got there, she was almost breathless. Usman and husband quickly carried her to the back seat and off, he sped like a bat out of hell, to a clinic nearby.

Madam was confirmed dead! If he had picked her call early enough, probably she could have been saved. When you leave domestic disagreement to fester for too long, it leads to greater evil. The Husband is weeping mad, blaming himself... I killed my wife! Only God knows how many wives, husbands, children have died such a needless death. Couples must cultivate one another. No matter how angry you are with your wife, in your office, in her shop, pls call her at least three times during the day,call even when you have no reason to call. If all you could say is "Where are you?" "Wetin dey?" "Anything for your boyfriend?"

After reading the short story above, we won't hesitate to call the man hateful and spiteful names. Hypocrital us quickly condemns him, yet we do not pause to truly examine the times we purposely and intentionally despise and neglect the ones we are close to,  the ones we claim and think we do love. The amazingbthing about life is forgiveness. Letting go of the hearty hurtful hurts done to us by the ones dear to us is what we MUST learn to let go of and forget. Life is much more amazing that way.
