When a married man is faced with a choice in which he must choose one of three choices, namely mother, wife, and child. Which one would he choose?
Of course this would be a dilemma for him when it comes to choosing just one of these 3 options. If you can choose all, of course he will choose all three. Because the three people to be chosen are the ones he loves and the people he should protect.
Although people always say, "there is a former wife / husband, but no former children or ex-parents". However, between wife, child and parents all have an important role in one's life.
Here's a story when one has to choose between mother, wife and child, so he chooses ....
A Professor does a little research on his already married students. He then asked 1 student to come to the front of the board.
Professor: "Write down 10 names of people closest to you."
Then the student wrote 10 names, there are names of neighbors, parents, co-workers, wives, children, relatives, and so on.
Professor: "Now please select 7 people among the 10 names that you really want to live with."
The student then crossed out three names.
Professor: "Please streak 2 more names." Leave 5 names remaining.
Professor: "Drag again 2 names."
Leave three names namely mother's name, wife & child.
The classroom was quiet. They thought it was over & there was nothing to choose.
The Professor suddenly said: "Please strike 1 more name!"
The student was stunned for a while. Then he slowly took that very difficult choice and crossed out his mother's name.
Professor: "Please sketch 1 more name!"
The student's heart is getting confused. The classroom was getting tense. They all also think hard to find the best choice. The student then lifted his marker & slowly dropped his child's name. At that moment the student is not strong enough to stem the tears, he cried. The cloud of sadness covers all corners of the lecture hall. After a calmer moment, the Professor finally asked the student, "You do not choose a parent who raises you, does not choose a child who is your flesh blood, why do you choose your wife?
Everyone in the lecture hall was stunned for a reply from the student's mouth. Then the student said softly, "As time passed, my parents had to leave & leave me.
So does my child. If he was an adult then married. Meaning he must leave me too. Finally people who really can accompany me in this life, even those who patiently and faithfully accompany and support me while stuck and terseok2 walk facing the crush of life for career is only my wife ".
After a long breath he continued, "Parents & children are not I who choose, but the God who grants, while the wife? I alone choose it from the billion women in the world".
From the story above, there are wisdom that we can take. Although a wife may one day be an ex-wife, but the wife is always faithful to accompany and accompany the husband to spend the rest of age together, even until last breath.
