There was a girl. She was always angry. She was short and bad
looking. All her girl friends in the village had boyfriends. No guy
seemed to be interested in asking her out. She hated her parents for
giving birth to her. She hated God to have given her an ugly face. She
hated her life. One morning she did something about it. She walked on a
bridge and jumped to the deep river underneath. She couldn’t swim. She
had decided to take her own life.
A few hours had passed. She came to and threw up water. She was
wondering whether she was in heaven or hell. She was on the river bank
in another village. She was still alive. She had been rescued by an
elderly man.
The girl cried : “You should have let me die. I hate my life and I don’t want to live anymore. “
The elderly man smiled : “You and your past have died in the river. From
now on you are a new person. You can start over. I can use some help
here, that if you don’t mind helping me.”
She followed the man to where he lived. He turned out to be the medicine
man of the village. There were lots of sick people staying in his
house. Every day people in the village as well as from outside who were
sick came for treatment. Those with light illnesses went home after
taking his herbal medicine. Those with serious illnesses would stay in
his house for intensive treatment until they recovered.
She got very busy every day. She helped the elderly man collect medical
herbs from the mountain, river and jungle. She helped prepare
accommodation for the patients. She helped prepare the medical herbs for
the patients to take home. She helped prepare meals for the medicine
man and herself … everything there was to help . She practically
dedicated all her time to help others.
Her activity made her interact with lots of people from different ages
and walks of life. She felt happy despite of her busy life. She felt
very good inside to know that she could do good to others. One morning
when she was picking some medical herbs from the river bank, she saw her
reflection on the water. She saw her face, the one she had hated and
called ugly. The strange thing was that this time she liked what she
saw. Her face looked caring and full of love.
She cried. She realized that previously she had been egoistic and
thinking only about herself. She had wronged her parents. She had
wronged everything around her. She had only got anger, hatred and negative thoughts
inside. Those negative elements had shown on her face and thus the ugly
look. Since she got busy with her new life, she had great care and love
for others and no time for being selfish. She was filled with beautiful
positive things inside, and her face showed exactly that. She thanked
God to have given her this second new life, to have made her realize
that she had always been beautiful.
