The Null Pointer !

Frustrated with the way things are going around us, most of us pray for a miracle. From a good lunch, to helping our parents. From a better job, to a beautiful girl friend. From reducing your belly, to clothing an old man. From education to a street kid, to having a beautiful life, with no effort. We pray a hell lot. Have you ever wondered why these miracles never happened in the first place?

Your were walking with your gorgeous girl friend, to the tailor's shop to get her a newly tailored gown, when you saw him crawling on the road. The bones in his legs never matured, letting him crawl his life. He needed two things from you and you knew it. A few cents and lot of affection. You wanted to give him both. But your girl friend had other ideas. She was crazy about her gown and she wouldn't wait a single second to wear it. You walk away with her, with a longing look of his in our eyes. Your mind keeps reminding about him all day. The next day, you walk the same road, only to find him gone. You go there again and again for days. Nothing worked. You wished him a good life and go away. Then one day you see him, This time, he isn't crawling. In fact, he didn't see, hear or feel. You run to the doctor, who proudly announces his findings, A dead sole, because of starvation. Ask yourself what you did then?

You were having a bad time. You broke with your girl friend, your job sucked, you weren't rich, and you had no friends. You were shouting at God to show some mercy, some kinda sign. She walked into your life. She told you to sort things out, to clean up your mess, to love your job and to lead a satisfied life. You cursed her for advising you. You turned cold and shouted at her for being rude. You blamed her a pessimist, for simply advising. You told her she could never feel your pain. You drove her out of your life. When she left, you knelt down and prayed at God for some mercy, for some kindness, for a miracle.

You badly wanted to be popular. You wanted people to recognize you. You wanted money, respect and affection from all. You wanted to be the man on stage and behind. You wanted to conquer the World. But, you slept 12 hours a day and ate for a 3. You only dreamt. You slept well, woke up early afternoon, hoping to become a star, while you slept. When sun was shining, you prayed for a miracle and of course, the night to come soon.

Now, do you realize, why all these miracles, you were praying for never happened? All were addressed to an invisible Man called God(whom i call the NULL POINTER, the creator of all problems) and you did nothing. You wished it happen, but never let it happen. If the null pointer can cause small applications to crash, imagine what it can do to things as complicated as life.

Miracles are no magic tricks. They are not illusions. The invisible man needs no miracles. We do. So when you need a miracle, Be it!
