After Britain..its US now..

After Britain and some europian coutries its the turn of US now to realise what social networking sites can do to them and their citizens..Obama is really afraid of them due to recent things in news :)

Instead of trying to correct the problem …

Got in a group email...just sharing..

Instead of trying to correct the problem …

Many years ago, while on a visit to America, a wealthy Chinese businessman was fascinated by a powerful microscope. Looking through its lens to study crystals, he was amazed and most fascinated at their beauty and detail. So with great delight he decided to purchase one and take it back to his homeland.

Back home, this businessman was thoroughly enjoying using the fine instrument until one day he so happened to examine some rice he was planning to eat for dinner. Much to his dismay, he discovered that there were tiny living creatures crawling in it.

Since he was especially fond of this staple food in his daily diet, he wondered what to do. Finally he concluded that there was only one way out of his dilemma; he would destroy the instrument that caused him to discover this very distasteful fact!

So in his denial and dismay he smashed the microscope to pieces. Yep, just broke that thing into scrap and there was nothing left but broken parts. "How foolish," we might say.

But many people do the same thing with their own discoveries about themselves and about life.

So often the heart of human will refuse an obvious truth and instead of trying to deal or correct the problem and make things better with their knowledge or discoveries, they attack, break and destroy the instruments that somehow enlighten or help bring them a very clear insight to the real problems.

Sometimes our family becomes our microscope! Sometimes our relatives are those instruments!

They may magnify our hidden problems and we refuse to see. But most of the times ,we have all in our own way, try to destroy the instrument of enlightenment and refuse to correct the problem!
