UNCONDITIONAL

This is something we can learn the meaning of “UNCONDITIONAL” act of emotion, care and love to others.



This is a true story that happened in Japan .

In order to renovate a house, a Japanese man breaks open the wall. Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls. When tearing down the walls, he finds a lizard stuck there with a nail hammered to its foot. He sees this, feels pity, and at the same time curious, as when he checks the nail, he sees it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built!

The lizard has survived in this position for 10 years; in a dark wall partition for 10 years without moving! He wonders how it has survived. So he stops working and observes the lizard - what it does, and what and how it has been eating.

Soon enough, another lizard appears out of the wood work, with food in its mouth!

The lizard stuck to the wall by the nail is fed by the other lizard.

Imagine that? This lizard has been serving its fellow creature tirelessly for 10 long years without giving up hope!

The man is both stunned and deeply touched. He walks towards the wall, gently un-nails the lizard, and walks away with tears in his eyes.

Think, would you do that for your partner? Would you do that for your Mum, your Dad, friends, co-workers, brothers and sisters? Never giving up on them even when all hope is lost and all support futile? Never giving up on them even if they were no longer productive or beneficial to you? Could it be that his fellow creature's unconditional act was what was keeping the lizard alive even in this treacherous condition? Imagine the compassion that a small creature not blessed with a mind as brilliant as yours or mine is capable of! If this little lizard can do it, then why can't we?

Moral of the story: Steadfast devotion and unconditional love creates miracles. And you can learn valuable lessons from all creatures great and small!

· Never abandon your loved ones or any one who reaches out for your support.

· Never say you are busy when you can sense they really need you.

· You may have the entire world at your feet. But you may be the only one they turn to.

· One callous, insensitive moment of negligence could break a heart and spirit.

· And the same moment turned into attention and affection could save a life!
