Life is an echo

There was this young boy who had a terrible quarrel with his mother(as is usual during our childhood days). He went out running and went to a hill. He shouted at the helm of his angst -- "I hate you". Almost pat came the reply --- "I hate you". The boy was startled and afraid. He ran back home and told his mother about the strange voice.

Mother, so she is, understood the context and told the boy to go back immediately and yell "I love you". The boy did the same and heard the reply as "I love you".

Now we all know what the context was - of course that was an echo. But if you read it carefully, the source of the echo was nature, which is the other name of Life. The message is crystal clear. If you love life, life would love you back. But the other way round, you dont leave any other choice for life to give you back.
