[ ::: ♥Keep_Mailing♥ ::: ]™ TO HELP OR NOT TO HELP

.

A wise old man was sitting at the river bank 

when he saw a cat that had fallen into the water, 

flailing around, trying to save itself from drowning.

The man decided to save the cat. 

He stretched his hand out but was scratched by the cat.

 He pulled his hand back in pain.

However, a minute later he stretched his hand 

out again to save the cat, but it scratched him again, and

 again he pulled his hand back in pain.

Another minute later he was yet again 

trying for the third time!!

A man, who was nearby watching what was

 happening, yelled out: 

"O wise man, you have not learned your lesson 

the first time, nor the second time, and now you 

are trying to save the cat a third time?"

The wise man paid no heed to that man's scolding, 

and kept on trying until he managed to save the cat.

He then walked over to the man, and patted his 

shoulder saying: "My son.. it is in the cat's nature to scratch, 

and it is in my nature to love and have sympathy. 

Why do you want me to let the cat's nature overcome mine !?!!

My son: Treat people according to your nature, 

not according to theirs, no matter what they are like and

 no matter how numerous are their actions that harm

 you and cause you hurt sometimes.

And do not pay heed to all the voices that loudly 

call out to you to leave behind your good qualities merely

 because the other party is not deserving of your noble actions.

When you live to give happiness to others, 

Allah Ta'ala will send you those who will live

 to give happiness to you.

"Is the reward for good anything but good?" -55:60

Be beautiful in character and hearts will love you.

So never regret the moments you gave happiness 

to someone, even if that person did not deserve it.

And suffice in the fact that you have a Lord Who

 will reward you for good with good.
