One time, a crab was walking along the shore and was looking at his footprints and adoring them. Suddenly the waves washed those footprints away.
The crab turned to the sea and the waves and said to them “ I thought you were my best friends then why did you wash my footprints off the seashore? “
The waves replied “ My dear friend, the fisherman was chasing you by following your footprints. I washed your footprints away so that the fisherman would not catch you. “
Many times we tend to doubt the actions of people just like the crab doubted the action of the waves. The intention of the waves behind washing the footprints of the crab was to save the crab from the fisherman.
It is not necessary therefore that whatever people do for us carries a harmful intent. It could also be done to help us.
We must not judge anyone by their actions but we must look at their intentions !!!
