Who Is Happy? by abat4real37(f): 9:38pm On Jun 16, 2015
Who is Happy

A crow lived in the forest and 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 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 crew then visited a peacock at 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 realised that the crow is the only bird not kept in a cage.

So for the 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 Allah has given us.
This all leads to the vicious cycle of unhappiness.

Value the things Allah has given & say Alhamdulillah for absolutely everything.

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