What is important in the life

"My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body.
Through the years I would take a guess at what I
thought was the correct answer.
When I was younger, I thought sound was very
important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears,
Mommy."
She said, "No. Many people are deaf.
But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you
again soon."
Several years passed before she asked me again.
Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated
the correct answer.
So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very
important to everybody,so it must be our eyes."
She looked at me and told me, "You are learning
fast, but the answer is not correct because there
are many people who are blind."
Stumped again, I continued my quest for knowledge
and over the years, Mother asked me a couple more
times and always her answer was, "No.
But you are getting smarter every year, my child."
Then one year, my grandfather died. Everybody was
hurt. Everybody was crying.
Even my father cried. I remember that especially
because it was only the second time I saw him cry.
My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final good-bye to
my Grandfather.
She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?"
I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a
game between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told
me, "This question is very important. It shows that you have really
lived in your life. For every body part you gave me in the past, I
have told you were wrong and I have given you an example why. But
today is the day you need to learn this important lesson."
She looked down at me as only a mother can. I saw
her eyes well up with tears. She said, "My dear, the
most important body part is your shoulder."
I asked, "Is it because it holds up my head?"
She replied, "No, it is because it can hold the head
of a friend or a loved one when they cry. Everybody
needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my
dear. I only hope that you have enough love and
friends that you will always have a shoulder to cry
on when you need it."

Then and there I knew the most important body part
is not a selfish one. It is made for others and not for yourself.

It is sympathetic to the pain of others.

People will forget what you said. People will forget
what you did .

But people will NEVER forget how you made them feel.

The origination of this letter is unknown, but it
brings a blessing to everyone who passes it on.

Good friends are like stars...You don't always see
them, but you always know they are there.

Share this with a friend, I just did....
