( short story )



Close reading

 

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 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.”
