When a lizard can, why can't we?

This is a true story that happened in Japan.
.
In order to renovate the house, A Japanese man breaks open the wall. Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls.

When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there, because a nail from outside hammered into one of its feet.

He sees this, feels pity, and at the same time, curious, as when he checked the nail, it was nailed 5 years ago, when the house was first built!!!
.
*What happened?*
.
The lizard had survived in such position for 5 years!!!
In a dark wall partition for 5 years without moving, it is impossible and mind-boggling
.
Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 5 years without moving a single inch, since its foot was nailed!
.
So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it has been doing, and what and how it has been eating
.
Later, not knowing from where it came, appears another lizard, with food in its mouth.
.
Ah! He was stunned and touched deeply.
For the lizard that was stuck by nail, another lizard has been feeding it for the past 5 years.
.
Imagine? It has been doing that untiringly for 5 long years, without giving up hope on its partner.
Imagine what a small creature can do, that a creature blessed with a brilliant mind cannot do.
.
Please, never abandon your loved ones. Don't turn your back on people because they are in difficulty. Don't see yourself as more intelligent or the best, You may be a bit luckier today but life for its uncertainties can change things tomorrow....
.
A Moment of negligence might break the very heart which loved you against all odds..
Before you say something just remember... It takes a moment to Break, but an entire lifetime to make....God created space within our fingers so that we can hold hands......

Be there for somebody today.
