A couple had been married for several years without a child.
For the purpose of companionship, they bought a Rottweiler
puppy, named it Hatchi and loved her like a child. The dog
had access to all the rooms in the house. The puppy grew to
become a large, beautiful dog and had on several occasions
saved d couples from robbery. Hatchi was always faithful,
loyal and defended its owners against any danger.
Seven years later, the couple was blessed to have the long-
awaited son. They were very happy with their new son and
decreased the
attention they had been giving the dog. Hatchi felt neglected
and began to get jealous
of the baby.
One day the couple left the baby sleeping peacefully in his
cradle and went to
the terrace to prepare a roast. They were shocked as they
were heading
to the nursery and saw Hatchi in the hallway with a bloody
mouth, wagging its tail. The dog's owner thought the worst,
pulled out a weapon and immediately killed the dog. Rushed
to the baby's room and found a beheaded snake close to the
baby. The owner begins to mourn and exclaims I killed my
faithful dog!
How often have we misjudged people without finding out
facts.
The next time we are tempted to judge and condemn anyone
remember the story of a faithful dog Hatchi.

They who have no central purpose in their life fall an easy prey to petty worries, fears, troubles, and self-pityings, all of which are indications of weakness, which lead, just as surely as deliberately planned sins (though by a diff route), to failure, unhappyness, and loss, for weakness cannot persist in a power-evolving universe. A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be a worldly object, ...
