The Perfect Heart

One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that he had the most beautiful heart in the whole valley. A large crowd gathered and they all admired his heart for it was perfect. There was not a mark or a flaw in it. Yes, they all agreed it truly was the most beautiful heart they had ever seen. The young man was very proud and boasted more loudly about his beautiful heart.


Suddenly, an old man appeared at the front of the crowd and said “Why your heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine.” The crowd and the young man looked at the old man’s heart. It was beating strongly, but full of scars, it had places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in, but they didn’t fit quite right and there were several jagged edges. In fact, in some places there were deep gouges where whole pieces were missing.

The people stared – how can he say his heart is more beautiful, they thought? The young man looked at the old man’s heart and saw its state and laughed. “You must be joking,” he said. “Compare your heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars and tears.”

“Yes,” said the old man, “Yours is perfect looking but I would never trade with you. You see, every scar represents a person to whom I have given my love – I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they give me a piece of their heart which fits into the empty place in my heart, but because the pieces aren’t exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they remind me of the love we shared. Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn’t returned a piece of his heart to me. These are the empty gouges – – giving love is taking a chance. Although these gouges are painful, they stay open, reminding me of the love I have for these people too, and I hope someday they may return and fill the space I have waiting. So now do you see what true beauty is?”

The young man stood silently with tears running down his cheeks. He walked up to the old man, reached into his perfect young and beautiful heart, and ripped a piece out. He offered it to the old man with trembling hands. The old man took his offering, placed it in his heart and then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man’s heart. It fit, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges. The young man looked at his heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever, since love from the old man’s heart flowed into his. They embraced and walked away side by side. How sad it must be to go through life with a whole untouched heart.

Stop Abortion & Killing of Girl Child – Touching Story

I am in Heaven now. I so wanted to be your little girl. I don’t quite understand
what has happened. I was so excited when I began realizing my existance. I was
in a dark, yet comfortable place. I saw I had fingers and toes. I was pretty far
along in my developing, yet not near ready to leave my surroundings. I spent most of my
time thinking or sleeping. Even from my earliest days, I felt a special bonding between you
and me.

Sometimes I heard you crying and I cried with you.
Sometimes you would yell or scream, then cry. I heard
Daddy yelling back. I was sad, and hoped you would be
better soon. I wondered why you cried so much. One day
you cried almost all of the day. I hurt for you. I couldn’t
imagine why you were so unhappy.
That same day, the most horrible thing happened. A very
mean monster came into that warm, comfortable place I
was in. I was so scared, I began screaming, but you
never once tried to help me. Maybe you never heard me.
The monster got closer and closer as I was screaming
and screaming, “Mommy, Mommy, help me please;
Mommy, help me.” C omplete terror is all I felt. I
screamed and screamed until I thought I couldn’t anymore. Then the monster started ripping
my arms off. It hurt so bad; the pain I can never explain. It didn’t stop.
Oh, how I begged it to stop. I screamed in horror as it ripped my leg off.

Though I was in such complete pain, I was dying. I knew I would never see your face or hear
you say how much you love me. I wanted to make all your tears go away. I had so many
plans to make you happy. Now I couldn’t; all my dreams were shattered. Though I was in
utter pain and horror, I felt the pain of my heart breaking, above all. I wanted more than
anything to be your daughter. No use now, for I was dying a painful death. I could only
imagine the terrible things that
they had done to you. I wanted to
tell you that I love you before I
was gone, but I didn’t know the
words you could understand.

And soon, I no longer had the
breath to say them; I was dead. I
felt myself rising. I was being
carried by a huge angel into a big
beautiful place. I was still crying,
but the physical pain was gone.
The angel took me away to a
wonderful place. Then I was
happy. I asked the angel what
was the thing was that killed me.
He answered, “Abortion”. I am sorry, for I know how it feels. I don’t know what abortion is; I
guess that’s the name of the monster. I’m writing to say that I love you and to tell you how
much I wanted to be your little girl. I tried very hard to live. I wanted to live. I had the will,
but I couldn’t; the monster was too powerful. It sucked my arms and legs off and finally got
all of me. It was imposible to live. I just wanted you to know I tried to stay with you. I didn’t
want to die. Also, Mommy, please watch out for that abortion monster. Mommy, I love you
and I would hate for you to go through the kind of pain I did. Please be careful.
Love,
Your Baby Girl

Do you think these babies
chose to die?
This is dedicated to the memory of
all the aborted babies throughout
the world. Please pass this on to
as many people as you can. If you
have a heart; you will. I posted it
here, because I know you have a
heart and will post it to others, so
that they will know what happens
to their child and all the pain the
baby goes through when they
abort their baby.

A Student Asks A Teacher “What is love”?

A student asks a teacher, “What is love?”

The teacher said, “in order to answer your question, go to the wheat field
and choose the biggest wheat and come back.
But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to
pick.”
The student went to the field, go thru first row, he saw one big wheat, but
he wonders….may be there is a bigger one later.
Then he saw another bigger one… But may be there is an even bigger one
waiting for him.
Later, when he finished more than half of the wheat field, he start to
realize that the wheat is not as big as the previous one he saw, he know he
has missed the biggest one, and he regretted.
So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty
hand.
The teacher told him, “…this is love… You keep looking for a better one,
but when later you realize, you have already miss the person….”
“What is marriage then?” the student asked.
The teacher said, “in order to answer your question, go to the corn field
and choose the biggest corn and come back. But the rule is: you can go
through them only once and cannot turn back to pick.”

the previous mistake, when he reach the middle of the field, he has picked
one medium corn that he feel satisfy, and come back to the
teacher.
The teacher told him, “This time you bring back a corn…. You look for one
that is just nice, and you have faith and believe this is the best one you

IPL: Chennai Super Kings Win An Important Match Against Kolkata Knight Riders

In a must-win match, Chennai Super Kings showed why they are the multiple winners of the IPL, with a last ball victory. With five needed off the last ball, Dwayne Bravo hit a teasing six off Rajat Bhatia to keep Chennai's hopes of qualification alive.

KKR who batted first looked keen on putting CSK out of the competition. Gambhir and McCullum inflicted maximum damage with a partnership of 99 in 11.3 overs. Both of them followed in quick succession, which led to the momentum getting arrested. The former making 62 and the latter 37. Their dismissals was just the opening CSK needed as they strangled the rest of the batsmen. Only some fine hitting from Debabrata Das late in the innings could get the score to respectable proportions.

CSK's innings began just the way KKR's had. Hussey and Vijay flayed the bowlers to all parts of the ground and the game seemed to be headed for an early finish. That changed when Sunil Narine got both of them in one over. The innings stuttered further with Raina's run out. A seemingly easy chase became tougher by the over as KKR tightened the noose, once again through Bhatia and Narine. However, Dhoni pummelled Marchant De Lange for a six and two fours in the penultimate over to bring it to 9 off the last over. Bhatia bowled an excellent first five deliveries, one of which accounted for Dhoni. With five needed off one delivery, he bowled the worst possible ball that anyone could, and Bravo hit a towering six, which just managed to clear the long on boundary. That six reignited Chennai's campaign, and the defending champs look set to repeat what they have been doing in all the editions -- Rising from the Ashes.
