Who is Happy ???
A Crow was absolutely satisfied in
life.
But one day he saw a swan...
This swan is so white and I am so
black...crow thought.
This swan must be the happiest bird
in the world.
He expressed his thoughts to the
swan.
"Actually," the swan replied,
"I was feeling that I was the
happiest bird around until I saw a
parrot, which has two colors.
I now think the parrot is the
happiest bird in creation."
The crow then approached the
parrot.
The parrot explained,
"I lived a very happy life"until I
saw a peacock.
I have only two colors, but the
peacock has multiple colors."
The crow then visited a peacock in
the zoo and saw that hundreds of
people had gathered to see him.
After the people had left,
The crow approached the Peacock..
Dear Peacock,
You are so beautiful.
Every day thousands of people come
to see you.
When people see me,
they immediately shoo me away.
I think you are the happiest bird on
the planet.
The peacock replied,
I always thought that I was the most
beautiful and happy bird on the
planet.
But because of my beauty,
I am entrapped in this zoo.
I have examined the zoo very
carefully, and I have realized that
the crow is the only bird not kept in
a cage.
So for past few days I have been
thinking that if I were a crow,
I could happily roam everywhere.
That's our problem too.
We make unnecessary comparison
with others and become sad.
We don't value what God has given
us.
This all leads to the vicious cycle of
unhappiness.
Value the things god has given us.
Learn the secret of being happy and
discard the comparison which leads
only to unhappiness!
gimme a break
