The Echo of Life

A man and his son were walking in the forest. Suddenly, the boy trips and
feels a sharp pain and screams, "Ahhhhh."

Surprised, he hears a voice coming from the mountain, "Ahhhhh!"

Filled with curiosity, he screams: "Who are you?", but the only answer he
receives is: "Who are you?"

This makes him angry, so he screams: "You are a coward!", and the voice
answers: "You are a coward!"

He looks at his father, asking, "Dad, what is going on?"

"Son", the man replies, "pay attention!" Then he screams, "I admire you!"

The voice answers: "I admire you!"

The father shouts, "You are wonderful!" and the voice answers: "You are
wonderful!"

The boy is surprised, but still does not understand what is going on.

Then the father explains, "People call this an 'ECHO', but truly it is
'LIFE!' Life always gives you back what you give out! Life is a mirror of
your actions. If you want more kindness, give more kindness! If you want
understanding and respect. give understanding and respect! If you want
people to be patient and respectful to you, give patience and respect!
This
rule of nature applies to every aspect of our lives."

Life always gives you back what you give out. Your life is not a
coincidence, but a mirror to your own doings.
