Two men, both seriously ill, occupied la stessa stanza di ospedale. A uno dei due era permesso di drizzarsi a sedere per un’ora ogni pomeriggio per aiutare il drenaggio dei fluidi nei polmoni. Il suo letto era proprio accanto l’unica finestra della stanza. L’altro uomo invece doveva starsene sdraiato tutto il tempo sulla schiena. I due uomini chiacchieravano all’infinito: parlavano delle loro mogli e le loro famiglie, la loro casa, il lavoro, l’impegno del servizio militare, o dove avevano passato le vacanze.
Ogni pomeriggio, l’uomo vicino alla finestra, quando poteva stare seduto, passava il tempo a descrivere al suo compagno di stanza tutte le cose che poteva vedere fuori, tanto che l’altro cominciò a vivere solo per quei periodi di una ora when his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the universe out there.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young couples of lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color, and you could see in the distance a beautiful view of the city.
As the man by the window described these exquisite details, the other closed his eyes, imagine the picturesque scene. One warm afternoon the man at the window described the passage of a band. Although he could not hear, he could see with the eye of his mind while the roommate near the window represented it to him with words rich in detail.
Days and weeks passed. One morning, before 'the nurse on duty because they clean themselves with water, but found the man by the window, lifeless, seemed to have died in his sleep, full of peace. The nurse is very saddened and called the porters to carry away the body.
soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved near the window. The nurse was happy to oblige, and assicuratasi that everything was in place, she left him alone.
Slowly, the man pulled up with difficulty on his elbow and tried slowly to turn to the window and looked out. In front of the window there was nothing but a blank wall.
The man called the nurse and asked what he could push his companion disappeared to describe those wonderful things out of the window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. Perhaps, he said, just wanted to encourage you ....
Conclusion:
There is so much happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations. the anxiety shared by half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.
If you want to feel rich, it lists all the things you have that money non puo’ comprare.
“L’oggi è un dono, ecco perché si chiama presente”……
