What You Do TO Others
Will Be Done To You

Once
upon a time in China A girl named
Li-Li got married & went to live with her husband and mother-in-law
|
 |
| In a very short time, Li-Li found that she couldn't get along with her mother-in-law at all. |
 |
Their
personalities were very different, and Li-Li was angered by many of her
mother-in-law' s habits. In addition, she criticized Li-Li constantly.
|
 |
| Days passed, and
weeks passed. Li-Li and her mother-in-law never stopped arguing and fighting.
But what made the situation even worse was that, according to ancient Chinese tradition, Li-Li had to bow to her mother-in-law and obey her every wish. All the anger and unhappiness in the house was causing Li-Li's poor husband great distress |
 |
Finally,
Li-Li could not stand her mother-in-law' s bad temper and dictatorship any
longer, and she decided to do something about it. Li-Li went to see her
father's good friend, Mr. Huang, 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.
|
 |
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 suspect 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." Li-Li was so happy
|
 |
| thanked Mr. Huang and hurried home to start her plot of murdering her mother-in-law. |
 |
She
remembered what Mr. Huang had said about avoiding suspicion, so she controlled
her temper, obeyed her mother-in-law, and treated her like her own mother.
|
 |
After six months had passed, the whole household had
changed. Li-Li 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 mother-in-law in six months because she now
seemed much kinder and easier to get along with.
The
mother-in-law' s attitude toward Li-Li changed, and she began to love Li-Li
like her own daughter. She kept telling friends and relatives that Li-Li was
the best daughter-in- law one could ever find. Li-Li and her mother-in-law were
now treating each other like a real mother and daughter.
|
 |
Li-Li's
husband was very happy to see what was happening.
One day,
Li-Li came to see Mr. Huang and asked for his help again She said, "Dear
Mr. Huang, please help me to keep off the poison from killing my mother-in-law.
She's 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.
Huang smiled and nodded his head. "Li-Li, 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 toward 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?
17There is a wise Chinese saying:
"The
person who loves others will also be loved in return.
"
God might be trying to work in another person's life through you.
You may send this to your friends and if you wish
spread the POWER OF LOVE.
After all you have got nothing to lose but a lot to gain.
"A
candle loses nothing if it is used to light another one
