A new car The husband gifted a new car to his wife for her birthday. He first handed over the keys, then a pouch of necessary documents, including her driving license, and followed up with a long hug. He then offered to take care of children and asked her to go on a long drive. She thanked him with a kiss and she was gone with her auto-baby. Hardly a kilometer into the drive, she hit a median. She was safe but the car was dented. She was consumed with guilt, "What will I tell him? How will he take it?" Thoughts and feelings ran amok. The police were quick to arrive at the accident scene. "Can we see your licence?" they demanded. Her hands still shivering, she reached for the pouch that her husband had given her. With tears rolling down her cheeks, as she picked the license from the pouch she noticed a 'post it' on it with her husband's handwriting, you"Honey, in case of an accident, please remember, it is you that I love and not the car. Loving you." Debriefing of this story A scratch on the car increases our blood pressure but we don't mind a scratch in our heart. Please remember to love people and use things and not to love things and use people. Story source From the book "Unposted Letter" by Mahatria Best Collection of Mahatria
