My daughter had a fever several days ago. Her daddy gave her a medicine but she didn't like the taste. After several prodding, we were able to convince her to take the meds little by little. She was feeling better the following day but there was nothing I could say or do to make her take the medicine again. She said "I don't want to drink poison mommy".
It made me realize how, in this life, people conveniently stay away from things that are not so pleasant. Like that medicine which my daughter called a poison, we seldom realize how the "not-so-pleasant" things in life can really benefit us in the long run.Just because it has a "bad taste", we often overlook the fact that certain events in our life can actually mold and shape us to become better persons. Problems, challenges, sufferings, difficulties in life are things all of us will always wish not to experience. But just like the medicine, we need all of those to make us stronger and better.
Thank you for the poison that heals.....
