A very nice story

An elderly man was travelling with his 25 year old son in the train. Throughout the journey, the young man was wildly ecstatic watching the scenery. Sitting on the window side he exclaimed, "Daddy, why are all trees going behind?" The father smiled and cheered his son. Then the young man again shouted, "Daddy, is that a pond? What are those animals? Look at those houses?" The father again smiled and cheered his son.

Beside the young man one couple was sitting and listening to this incredible conversation between father and son. They were most awkward seeing a 25 year old man behaving like a small child. Then it started raining and some rain drops touched the young man's hand.

He shouted again, "Daddy... it's raining, see the drops of water touching me". The
couple feeling embarrassed could not help themselves asking the father, "Why don't you visit a medical specialist... and see if your son can be treated?"

The father thoughtfully smiled and said," Yes, we are returning from the hospital. It is just today that my son got his eyesight for the first time in life".

We find it so easy to jump to conclusions and pass judgments...
a humble reminder not to draw conclusions until you get all the facts.
