A crow lived in the forest and was absolutely satisfied in
life.
But one day he saw a swan. "This swan is so white," he thought,
"and I am so black.
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," the crow
said, "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.
Have Life ahead valuing the things God
has given us.
Learn the secret of being happy and discard the comparison
which leads only to unhappiness.
