The Life Of A Changed Man

Basel is a man who loves going to the beer parlour to drink. Anytime he goes out to drink, he is always getting drunk. He is a man who loves working so hard but will end up spending his money in the bar with friends. His wife will always talk to him to see if he will change but to no avail. He is not ready to listen to anyone who wants to speak to him about his drinking habit or gives him any form of advice. To him, he is enough to himself. His friends on the other hand are not ready to help him, but rather will find all ways to spend his little hard work earnings with them.

Thank God he has a wife who is ready to advise him and tells him what to do. Many times, she does talk to him about his drinking habit, yet he ends up yelling at her. He is not ready to accept what his wife is telling him, but is always going by his friend's words. Thank God for giving him a caring wife who understands him so much. Anytime he gets drunk, his wife will be there to clean up his body.

The wife got pregnant and later gave birth to a bouncing baby boy. This got him so excited and called his friends for the celebration which they all came. The wife was not expecting him to call his friends to the party because calling them will be to drink and get drunk at the end of the day. After the party, her husband became drunk and was shouting at her for just something that does not worth shouting. She somehow became angry and as usual, could not react as she is a woman of honour.

One day, he got to where they are always taking their usuals in a bar, and to his surprise, met just four of them instead of five. The one that left happened to have seen a job that got him parted from the others. He is sensible because and while moving with his friends, he was not relenting but was searching seriously for a job. Now he got the job he was looking for and quit the family of drinking. When you are in a surrounding that is not making you progress, you need to leave and find a way to make it in life. This was what his friend did.

The next week when he got to the bar to drink some liquor, he did not meet anyone in the bar. This got him thinking of his life and that day, he could not drink when he heard the news of his five friends seeing a job leaving him behind. This means his friends have been one way or the other searching for jobs without his knowledge. He was so sad to the extent of making his feelings known to the barman. The barman on the other hand told him about how he has turned drinking into a habit instead of focusing on his business. He was so much ashamed of himself, but feeling so devastated.

The wife was at home bathing their baby when he bounced in just like a wounded and defeated lion. This time around, no more bragging and no more shouting. The wife was so happy seeing his husband in this form. She asked him what the matter was and what he was doing at home by this time of the day without going to the bar. With a silent and calm voice, he responded that he has been wasting his time drinking with the ones he called friends whereas they had plans but refused to tell him. He further explained that he wished he listened to her words of advice, he would have been doing very fine.

This got him changed totally for the better and indeed the one who was known as a drunkard changed to be a saint. One day when he was passing along the bar, the barman saw him and asked why he had not been seeing him, initialled, he did not answer, but later responded that henceforward, he should not ask him such a question.

During that period, he went back to his work properly since it was handiwork. Behold, it was just from that moment his life changed for the better. To him, the friends have done him badly and were tagging them as his enemies.

Note: The friends made him realize that drinking habit is not the best way, but focusing on what can make your life move ahead is the best. Although, they have not done him good for leaving him without carrying him along.

Your wife can give you the best advice in life and so we must not take their words for granted. They are the best love we have ever seen.
