When someone you didn't like passes away.........

Rest of the above statement should be obvious.............you wouldn't care a damn. But thats if you never realized his importance and contribution in your life. The person I am talking about was my maths teacher in school.More than the maths he used to teach, he was known for his strict, and sometimes harsh, punishments. And naturally not many of his students liked him. I wasn't different from others. But as I grew older and learnt more, I realized how important his contribution was towards my development. Agreed that his methods were harsh but they were effective. He taught me maths and got me interested in it though I was initially not interested in it, like many children my age. Only a stone that goes under a hammer and chisel will end up being a sculpture. His contribution in my life, to put in mildly, is inestimable. I pray for his soul to rest in peace.
