Human Relationship

I would like to share this story here that I've gotten from the net.

A long time ago, a girl named Ann~Ann got married & move-in with her hubby and MIL.
Soon, Ann~Ann found that she couldn't get along with her MIL.
Their personalities differ.
Ann~Ann was always angered by many of her MIL' s habits.
In addition, she criticized Ann~Ann constantly.

Days passed and weeks passed.
Ann~Ann and her MIL never stopped arguing and fighting.
To make the matter even worse, according to ancient Chinese tradition, Ann~Ann had to kow-tow to her MIL and obey her every wish.
All the anger and unhappiness in the house was causing Ann~Ann's poor husband great distress.

Finally, Ann~Ann could not stand her MIL' s bad temper and dictatorship any longer.
She decided to do something about it!

Ann~Ann approached Mr. Tok Yeok, who sold herbs.
She told him the situation and asked if he would give her some poison so that she could solve the problem once and for all.

Mr. Tok Yeok thought for a while and told, "Ann~Ann... I will help you solve your problem, but you must listen to me and obey what I tell you."

Ann~Ann said, "Yes, Mr. Tok Yeok, I will do whatever you tell me to do."

Mr. Tok Yeok went into the back room and returned in a few minutes with a
package of herbs.
He told Ann~Ann, "You can't use a quick-acting poison to
get rid of your MIL because that would cause people to become
suspicious."

Therefore, I have given you a number of herbs that will slowly build up
poison in her body. Every other day prepare some delicious meal and put
a little of these herbs in her serving.

Now, in order to make sure that nobody suspects you, when she dies you must be very careful to act very friendly towards her.
"Don't argue with her. Obey her every wish, and treat her like a queen."

Ann~Ann was so happy. She thanked Mr. Tok Yeok and hurried home to start her plot of murdering her MIL.
Weeks went by, and months went by and every other day, Ann~Ann served the
specially treated food to her MIL.
She remembered what Mr. Tok Yeok had said about avoiding suspicion.
So she controlled her temper,obeyed her MIL, and treated her like her own mother.

After six months had passed, the whole household had changed. Ann~Ann had
practiced controlling her temper so much that she found that she almost never got mad or upset. She hadn't had an argument with her MIL in six months because she now seemed much kinder and easier to get along with.

The MIL' s attitude towards Ann~Ann changed and she began to love Ann~Ann like her own daughter. She kept telling friends and relatives that Li-Li was the best DIL one could ever find.

Ann~Ann and her MIL were now treating each other like a real mother and
daughter. Ann~Ann's husband was very happy to see what was happening.

One day, Ann~Ann came to see Mr. Tok Yeok and asked for his help again
She said, "Dear Mr. Huang, please help me to keep the poison from killing my MIL.
She had changed into such a nice woman, and I love her like my own mother.
I do not want her to die because of the poison I gave her."

Mr. Tok Yeok smiled and nodded his head.
"Ann~Ann, there's nothing to worry about. I never gave you any poison.
The herbs I gave you were vitamins to improve her health.
The only poison was in your mind and your attitude towards her, but that has been all washed away by the love which you gave to her."

HAVE YOU REALIZED that how you treat others is exactly how they will treat you?
There is a wise Chinese saying:
"The person who loves others will also be loved in return."
