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 colours. 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 colours,
but the peacock has multiple
colours."


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.

Live Life ahead valuing the things
God has given us.


Learn the secret of being happy
and discard the comparison which
leads only to unhappiness.

I'll read it in the morning

Thanks for reminding me. It is a big mistake to compare our lives to others.
