What's Your Contribution?

What's The Difference?

What have you contributed to your family, (and/or) your kin and friends, your neighbours, your community, your friends (and/or) the society at large today? Nothing much? Nothing of great importance? Nothing worthy of mention? Nothing at all? Don't panic ... you're doing OK. You're a normal citizen in a normal society of a normal country!

I was taken aback when an old friend of mine said those words to me quite recently. I thought he was trying to pull my leg. He always like to pull a fast one on people especially those close to him. This instance I just could not restraint myself from asking him a question. I asked why was that so.

He smiled and said,"Yeah, in truth you have contributed something you may not be aware of".

"How come?" was my next question.

"By not giving headaches and problems to people around you. At least you're not troubling society. That's what you have contributed!"

I knew he was sincere when he said those words. He was that simple in thought and action!

Surely you too have such friends...
