A wife and husband had an argument. After dinner, the husband and children went to sleep, but the wife stepped out of the house, thinking she could no longer live with her husband.
As she wandered through the lanes of her neighborhood, she heard a voice coming from one house – a woman was praying to God for bread for her child.
A little further, she heard another woman praying to God to protect her son from every hardship.
From another house came the voice of a man telling his wife to request their landlord for a few more days of grace and to plead with folded hands so that he would stop bothering them daily.
Farther along, she heard an elderly grandmother telling her grandson, “It’s been so many days since you brought me my medicine.”
The grandson, eating bread, replied, “Grandma, even the medical shop owner refuses to give it on credit now, and I don’t have enough money to buy your medicine.”
A little further, she heard another woman telling her hungry children, “Today, your father will surely bring something for you to eat. Until then, you should sleep. When your father comes, I will wake you up.”
The wife stood there for a while, then turned back toward her own home, thinking: Even those who seem happy and content to us have their own hidden struggles.
Yet, all of them live hiding their pain and sorrow. She returned home and thanked God for her house, her children and a good husband. Yes, sometimes there were arguments, but still, he cared for her deeply. She realized that although she had her share of troubles, others were facing even greater hardships.
