bad weather

we call a day bad if everything goes bad , but sometimes even if the day is good my friend calls it bad , it is quite complicated to deal with such people ,what do we do , either listen to their pessimism or switch youself off , i have always been unsuccessful in not responding , i listen carry the bad mood and travel the day with it , once I read a small story from a book . It titled Its all an intelligent behaviour, title was so tempting that I forced myself to read though I ran out of time

It talks about a man with two wives and eight children , he hardly had any money to feed the children and educate them , he was so religious that he always used to call for God whenever he was hungry , and felt a little satisfied and little hunger free , his wives used to abuse him for being useless and they called him unproductive, One day he was so dejected , was lying down under a tree observing his children play . His youngest daughter was carrying a small spoon full of water to do some cooking with her little toys ( all spoilt) she walked so slow to reach the small bowl that she had , without spilling and really took forward and reached her bowl successfully she was extremely happy , the man watching this felt that he was pushed by someforce , he felt that the bowl the child reached was their lives , the water the child carried with trial is the tribulations he has to face to bring up the children and he then realised calling out for help to God without effort is going to be useless unless you take an effort I was moved by this small story forwarded to the pessimistic friend of mine , she said it is useless reading such short bites and it will not better her up any way . A week passed on , she stopped calling me , never responded to any of my phone calls , I felt quite bad and I though that I had invaded in her privacy and have been too loud in my thinking , but to my surprise she visited me the ninth day carrying a book

called "Banish your Blues" which talks about behaviours related with small stories with biblical references , I was really moved by her gesture and I asked her what happened suddenly , she said ,your story didnot impress me , but the thought of reading a book while upset sank in my mind that I sat with the book I have given you right now, made me really change and I have learnt to accept everything that comes my way

What I feel is , when you feel that you can be vocal about a thing to a friend or a person close to you go ahead and don'tstop yourself , for they may not look at it at the same perspective , but will view it differntly might help them to better up

cheers
