Pencil: I'm sorry

Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.

Pencil: I'm sorry because you get hurt because of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.

Eraser: That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad.

I found this conversation between the pencil and the eraser very inspirational. Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil. They're always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes. Sometimes along the way, they get hurt, and become smaller / older, and eventually pass on. Though their children will eventually find someone new (spouse), but parents are still happy with what they do for their children, and will always hate seeing their precious ones worrying, or sad. All my life, I've been the pencil. And it pains me to see the eraser that is my parents getting smaller and smaller each day. For I know that one day, all that I'm left with would be eraser shavings and memories of what I used to have.

I don't like myself when I feel tears in my eyes by reading or listening anything touchy! Sometimes I ask myself, why am I so emotional!? I felt tears yesterday after listening one of my law students personal life when I was dealing with student dues list. Her silent tears brought my tears. Again today, after reading post of Mr Shamim Ansary, I kept quiet for a while. Post of md's some of the part is really touchy. May I know who this md is? My appreciation for this good collection.

Sometimes, its better to be ignorant of something. Just now I'm feeling like this. Still dear Shamim Ansary, thanks for your information. My kind Regards for that respected person.

Take care. All the Best

"A child, who has been protected and habitually given whatever he wanted, would develop "entitlement mentality" and would always put himself first. He would be ignorant of his parent's efforts."
 real truth.
