Unseen world of mother

My mom only had one eye, I hated her....She was such an embarrassment.She cooked for students and teachers to support the family.There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to say hello to me.
                 I was so embarrassed.How could she do this to me? I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out.The next day at school one of my classmates said, "Eee, your mom only has one eye!"
        I wanted to bury myself.I also wanted my mom to just dissappear.I confronted her that day and said, "If you're only gonna make me a laughing stock, why don't you just die?"
                                                                                     My mom did not respond.I didn't even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because I was full of anger.I was oblivious to her feelings.
                                                                                                                                            I wanted her out of that house, and have nothing to do with her.So I studied real hard, got a chance to go abroad to study.Then , I got married.I bought a house of my own.I had kids of my own.I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts.Then one day,my mother came to visit me.She hadn't seen me in years didn't even meet her grandchildren.When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I yelled at her for coming over uninvited.I screamed at her, How dare you come to my house and scare my children!" get out of here! now! And to this, my mother quietly answered, "Oh, I'm so sorry.I may have gotten the wrong address," and she disappeared out of sight.
                                                               One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house.So I ;ied to my wife that I was going on a business trip.I went to the old shack just out of curiosity.My neighbours said that she died.I did not shed single tear.They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have.
      " My dearest son, I think of you all the time.I'm sorry that i came to yours house and scared your chilldren.I was so glad when i heard you were coming for the reunion.But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you.
                          I'm sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you were growing up.You see......................when you were very little, you had an accident, and lost your eye.As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with one eye.So I gave you mine.I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye.With all my love to you, Your mother."

Read this and see how it relevent to today society.
actually nice free verse poem.


දරණීය ගුරුතුමාණෙනි,


මම රැඳවුම් කඳවුරකින් දිවි ගලවාගත් අයෙක්මි.
මගේ ඇස්
කිසිම මිනිසෙකු විසින් නොදැකිය යුතු
උගත් ඉන්ජිනේරුවන් විසින්
සාදන ලද විෂ වායු කාමර,
උගත් වෛද්‍යවරුන් විසින්
විෂ එන්නත් කරන ලද ළමයින්,
පුහුණු හෙදියන් විසින්,
මරා දමන ලද බිළිඳුන්,
උසස් විද්‍යාලවල උගත් ශිෂ්‍යයින් හා විශ්ව විද්‍යාලවල
උගත් උපාධිධාරීන් විසින් වෙඩි තබා
පුලුස්සා දමන ලද
කාන්තාවන්ගේ හා අත දරුවන්ගේ මළ සිරුරු දැක්කා.....
දැන් මට අධ්‍යාපනය ගැන සැකයි.
මගේ ඉල්ලීම
ඔබෙන් ඉගෙන ගන්නා ශිෂ්‍යයින්ට
මානුෂික වීමට උපකාරී කරන්න.......
ඔබේ උත්සාහය කිසි විටෙකත්
උගත් රාක්ෂයින්,
කුසලතා පිරිපුන්
මනෝ විකෘතිකයන්,
උගත් අයිචිමාන්වරුන්,
බිහි කිරීමට හේතු නොවේවා.........
කියවීම,ලිවීම,ගණිතය වැදගත් වන්නේ,
ඒවා අපේ දරුවනට වඩාත් මානුෂික වීමට
මඟ පෙන්වන්නේ නම් පමණි.............

My thoughts about life

I thought to put my first post about what i'm thinking about life.These thoughts will be different to one by one.
when i think about life firstly i remember how hard to born as a human.how much merit we need to born as human. 
do we know it??? or can we measure it??
i also haven't clear idea about that.because we don't think about that topic much.


when we live as human we need civilization from that we become different from beasts.we have feelings love,affections,sympathy,confidence,happiness,sadness more and more.feelings give life to liveliness.
i think we need feelings and troubles then we can feel life and how to handle life.but everything must have limit.
feelings or troubles or anything must have limit.we don't need to overcome limit and fill life with miserable things.


I like the way lordbuddha saw life.
one day a ascetic asked from lordbuddha do u feel happy in life?
answer was; no, for what reason do i feel happy?
then ascetic asked like this.
do u feel sad in life?
answer was;no,for what reason do i feel sad?
so no sad no happy in life and satisfy with what we have in life.that's what we need to practice for better living.


At last i have to say this is the way i see life.actually i can't express all my ideas these are small piece of those.
we all have our own ideas about life.so it's better be the person yourself want to be.then u can find satisfaction in life.
