The Most Important Part Of Your Body

The Most Important Body Part

My mother used to ask me which body part is the most important. Through the years i would take a guess at what i thought was the correct answer...

When i was younger, i thought  sound was very impotrant to us humans, so i said... "My ears, mommy" 

she said  "No. Many people are deaf but they get along fine. Keep thinking about it and i will ask you again soon.."

Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attemp, i had contemplated for the correct answer..

So this time i told her,  "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody so it must be our eyes.."

She looked at me and told me,  "You are learning fast but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.."

Stumped again, i continued my quest for knowledge and over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and her answer was always... "No. But you are getting smarter every year, my child."

Then one year, my grandfather died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. Even my father cried. I remember that epecially well because it was only the second time when i saw him cry.

My mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final-goodbye to my Grandfather.

She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?"

I was shocked when she asked me the question then. I always thought this was a game between her and me.

She saw the confusion on my face and told me,   "This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived in your life. For every body part you guessed in the past, i have told you were wrong and i have given you an example why. But today is the day you need to learn this important lesson.."

She looked down at me as only a mother can. I saw her eyes well up with tears..

She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder..."

I asked   "Is it because it holds up my head?"   

She replied,   "No, because it can hold the head of a friend or a loved one when they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my dear.  I only hope that you have enough love and friends so that you will always have a shoulder to cry on when you need it."

Then and there I knew the most important body part

is not a selfish one. It is sympathetic to the pain of others...

People will forget what you said.

People forget what you did.

But people will never forget how you made them feel..

The End...
