A man went to a Wise Old Man and complained: "Life is unbearable, there are nine of us living in one room, what can I do?"
The Wise Old Man answered: "Take a goat into the room with you".
The man didn't beleive what he was hearing..."Take a stinking goat inside the house?", but the Old Wise Man insisted: "Do as I tell you and come back after one week".
A week later, the man came back half dead saying: "We cannot stand it any longer, that goat is filthy and smelly".
The wise Old Man then told him: "Now go home and let the goat out, and come back in a week's time".
A radiant man visited the Old Wise Man one week later: "Life is beautiful, we enjoy every minute of it, no goat and ONLY the nine of us".
"The best way to feel real contentment is to lose everything you have, and then get it back again".
So WHY to lose what we have and fell the contentment after getting it back, LET'S ENJOY OUR LIFE AS IT IS RIGHT NOW, and THANKS GOD FOR TAKING CARE OF US EVERYTIME AND FOREVER.

Hi Rania,
ReplyDeleteI liked your story. Sometimes is good to remember it. Especially when we are healthy and complaint.
Thanks for the info. Good that you remind us of this thing especially now that we are all students again. I think you really practice what you've posted because you are always ALIVE in our class and sometimes you invoke some spiritual or inspirational ideas to us. I'll follow you!
