AUTRUISM

from my lost friend in tagged.com

       A little girl was walking along the city street w/ her grandfather. They came up t o agarden fence that was covered with beautiful red roses. Pulling in a deep breath, the little girl said, "Grandpa can you smell those roses? Aren't they nice?"

       Then the two of them heard the voice of an elderly lady who was sitting on the veranda. "Take all you want," the voice said.

       So both the gradpa and his granddaughter took a rose a piece & thanked the elderly lady & praised her flowers.

       Then she explained, "I grow those roses purposely to make other people happy. I can't see them myself. I'm blind, but I can see how others appreciate the flowers."

- as they say we experience tranquility of happiness if others appreciate the works we have done whatever the outcome is--
