Understand the enemy, to win!

Hello! Welcome to "How Can I Make It A Better World?"

All World one Happy Family.

The other day I was in our local corner shop.

It is the sort of shop which gives you a relaxed feel so that you can easily exchange pleasantries with your fellow customers.

The lady before me, I could not but help notice, was buying almost truck loads of chocolates.

'You, obviously love chocolates,' I remarked jovially.

'Not at all,' the lady said, 'I hate the stuff. It makes me wrench, cough, and go dizzy'

Before I knew what I was doing, words left my mouth, 'Why are you buying all these chocolates then?'

'Because my God Book says I must punish myself, must show remorse for my sins of the past. God will then forgive me and give me a seat by him in heaven.'


Another joke: In our local church on Sunday the Priest was extolling us to live a life according to the Good Book.
'We know,' he warned us grimly, 'that all of us in this parish will die one day.'

At his the man next to me and threw up his arms and laughed with utter joy.

The Priest, visibly annoyed by the interruption, asked this man, 'I have just said that every one in this parish will die one day. What is so funny about that?'

This man next to me says, "I do not belong to this parish.'


UNDERSTAND THE ENEMY TO WIN.

Joe Coddart, in her book, 'Advice from a failure' reports of a young wife just married to her sweetheart, having a shock of her life into her first month of marriage when her husband demands a penny by penny account of how she thad spent the pocket money given to her.

This woman took that demand as a grievous insult to her intelligence and to whole of her upbringing.

There could have been an unholy row over the money issues.

But this woman was sensible enough to see beyond her apparent insult, and understand that this sort of fanaticism with money was a shortcoming in her husband's character.

She quietly obliged.

After a few months, she suggested that since the monthly expenses was about the same each month, perhaps she could be trusted with the money being well spent, and save the frustration every month that this accounting was bringing on.

From that concession, the wife progressed on to having her own bank account, to having joint bank accounts, and to many years of happy married life.

Joe Coddart says that by understanding her enemy, her husband in this case, the woman won in every way.

Wishing you every happiness, Shree-1
