Finding my other half ...............

Have you ever asked yourself, what is the hardest thing to accomplish in life ? As i live life day to day, i notice that finding a person that cares and remain caring is really hard to accomplish for now. I always had asked god to remind me that there are still such kind of people in the world, so that i wouldn't lose hope in finding my other half.

Having renewed my driving license, i crossed the road to the main bus station hoping to get a cab. I suddenly noticed a red cab parked not very far away from where i was standing. I waved my hand signaling to the driver that i needed a cab. As the cab came closer, i noticed there was a women already seated at the front seat of the cab.My heart felt very uneasy as i dislike sharing a cab with another passenger unless if the other passenger is someone i know or is someone that is heading towards the same direction as me.

However, at that time i was desperate as the sun was really burning my face with its smile, so i open the door and asked the cab driver if he could take me to my house which is located near Old Klang Road. At first, he looked uncertain of the destination that i had mentioned but after consulting the women next to him, he nodded his head.I started feeling really suspicious, especially when he asked the women next to him if its alright to take me there.At that instances, i wanted to close the door , walk away and get on another cab. However, i didn't have the heart to do that, as the cab driver was a little old and it would be really nasty to do such a thing. Hence, i just got into the cab thinking what will happen, will happen, if its suppose to happen.

After a while, the women in the front seat asked me if i was feeling hot. I replied telling her that the weather is really hot. She then quickly turned the car's air cond a little faster . I thanked her and kept silent just observing the cab driver as my heart still felt a little uneasy of things. When the cab reached a junction which the driver had to turn left, i notice that the cab driver was actually handicap and he didn't have a left arm. Further more his left eye was also blind. I notice that the lady was instructing him on all the left turns he made. My heart slowly lost its suspiciousness and instead started admiring the couple's team work. Though having two separate physical bodies they lived as if they were one.

At that moment, i didn't feel scared but to tell you the truth i was more eager to know who was actually the lady next to him. Unfortunately, the cab was too close to my house. I gave the cab driver 10 ringgit extra because he had certainly earned it. I believe that a handicap is only handicap if he believes he is a handicap.As i open the door, the cab driver thanked me and asked me to hold his hand. With a soft voice, I then asked him who is the lady next to him, and he replied saying that she is his wife. He then went on telling me that he lost his arm from a road accident after his marriage. They now have two kids in the university and to ensure the kids education fees are paid, he has to drive the cab. I felt really sorry for him. Before leaving, he smiled telling me that he is really lucky to get a wife like her. I smiled while nodding my head knowing that someone above had reassured me.

Well in life, its not about finding the perfect person, its about finding the person who really cares and will remain caring even when your not physically attractive anymore. Remember this, the blind appreciates better as they are never attached to the external beauty. If your in search of someone to love don't use your eyes to search, use your heart instead.

Thank You God

Hi,nice story..Synergy is everywhere in nature..If you plant two plants close together, the roots commingle and improve the quality of soil so that both plants will grow better than if they were separated..The only precaution that we need to take here is to make sure that we plant "plants" together and not "weeds"..=)
All the best & God Bless
