Little Moral Story from Clara Barton

Once labelled “timid as a mouse, but brave as a lion”, Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross at age fifty-one. A woman of commitment, she continued to fulfil her mission through her golden years. She did not let her age get in her way. Clara went wherever there was suffering to relieve-after battle, fire, flood, earthquake or yellow fever. At the age of seventy-seven, she was on the battlefields of Cuba for the Spanish- American War. She continued her relief work until she died at age ninety-one. 
One day, someone reminded her about an offence that another person had committed against her years before. But she acted as if she had never heard of the cruel act.
“Don’t you remember it?” her friend asked.
“No,” came Clara’s reply. “I clearly remember forgetting it”. 


Moral Story:- Everything can be remembered and forgettable. It is upto you what values. If you remember grudging and revenge, it will grow like a plant and become humungous until you are totally consumed(your thoughts) by it.
