A sane advice




A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling.It seemed that one problem was solved and another one arose. She was very desperate and did not know how to handle the situation.
Her mother tried to console her and told her that every girl faces adjustment problems after marriage. Every house is different. She advised her to adjust according to the conditions of that house and make it her own home. The daughter was in no mood to listen to any argument. She was adamant and refused to go back .                                         The mother was a wise lady. She went inside and brought a handful of pebbles with her. She spread them on the table and said,"See all these pebbles carefully. They are all white, except one ,which is black. If you remove the black pebble, it will not make any difference. But if you remove all the white ones, the black one will be left alone."She asked her daughter whether she followed the message from the pebbles. The daughter did not reply. The mother again said," You are the only one in the family, who is unable to adjust to their style of living. If you leave them...." The daughter interrupted," That is enough,mom. I have understood that I have to change myself, if I want to be happy and contented. Thank you so much for showing me the way." She lived happily ever after.

  1. But why did the girl have to change Usha ji? Why didn't the others adjust ?

  2. What a wonderful story. But I agree with Nabanita, why is it always the girl who has to adjust. Shouldn't the others in the family also make some adjustments too?
