A Chinese girl named Li-Li and Mr. Huang.<\/p>\n
\nDhirasanta Das Goswami: A long time ago 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\u2019t get along with her mother-in-law at all.<\/p>\n
\nTheir personalities were very different, and Li-Li was angered by many of her mother-in-law\u2019s habits. In addition, she criticized Li-Li constantly.<\/p>\n
\nDays passed, and weeks passed. Li-Li and her mother-in-law never stopped arguing and fighting.<\/p>\n
\nBut 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\u2019s poor husband great distress.<\/p>\n
\nFinally, Li-Li could not stand her mother-in-law\u2019s bad temper and dictatorship any longer, and she decided to do something about it! Li-Li went to see her father\u2019s good friend, Mr. Huang, who sold herbs.<\/p>\n
\nShe told him the situation and asked if he would give her some poison so that she could solve the problem once and for all.<\/p>\n
\nMr. Huang thought for awhile, and finally said, \u201cLi-Li, I will help you solve your problem, but you must listen to me and obey what I tell you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nLi-Li said, \u201cYes, Mr. Huang, I will do whatever you tell me to do.\u201d Mr. Huang went into the back room, and returned in a few minutes with a package of herbs. He told Li-Li, \u201cYou can\u2019t use a quick-acting poison to get rid of your mother-in-law, because that would cause people to become suspicious. 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.<\/p>\n
\nNow, in order to make sure that nobody suspects you, when she dies, you must be very careful to act very friendly towards her. Don\u2019t argue with her, obey her every wish, and treat her like a queen.\u201d Li-Li was so happy.<\/p>\n
\nShe thanked Mr. Huang and hurried home to start her plot of murdering her mother-in-law.<\/p>\n
\nWeeks went by, and months went by, and every other day, Li-Li served the specially treated food to 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.<\/p>\n
\nAfter 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\u2019t had an argument with her mother-in-law in six months because she now seemed much kinder and easier to get along with.<\/p>\n
\nThe mother-in-law\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
\nLi-Li\u2019s 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, \u201cDear Mr. Huang, please help me to stop the poison from killing my mother-in-law. She\u2019s 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 have given her.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nMr. Huang smiled and nodded his head. \u201cLi-Li, there\u2019s 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 towards her, but that has been all washed away by the love which you gave to her.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nHave you realized that how you treat others is exactly how they will treat you?<\/p>\n
\nThere is a wise Chinese saying: \u201cThe person who loves others will also be loved in return.\u201d Krishna might be trying to work in another person\u2019s life through you. View all conflicts as your own fault first. Realize that people in your present environment might very well be the people with whom you will live out your life, and who are likely to be with you at the time of death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
