Friends
A man full of frustration and fear ran to his friend for his advice. In early morning he rushed to the house of friend and said that he has lost every thing he had earned through out the life. The friend had just come out of puja sitting in drawing room. He consoled the friend and asked for a cup of tea, but the man was so shattered and frustrated that he could not stop from crying. After some time the things got cooled down and then the friend asked what has happened to him suddenly. The man said that he must have read today's news paper carrying false story about him. This has spoiled his image and social reputation. The friend said he did not read the news paper today so far. He said that half of the population of this town would never read newspaper as they can not afford it. Remaining half may not read all the pages and most of the people would read only the news of their interest. Now the story about you would be read by your friends and enemies. Those who are enemy are already not with you so it does not matter much and those who are true friends would not believe the story . Hence do not feel let down and nothing has been lost.
Friends this story indicates that we are over concerned about ourselves and create lot of tension. Instead we should respect our self without comparing with the neighbour. We are also part of the human race, god's own creation and full of qualities. Self respect is necessity, not a luxury.
