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."
From the above story what we can reflect in our lives?
In this world we have to be happy with what we have got, we can strive to achieve the best but not by comparing with others. Everyone has their own stories in life, not necessary it needs to be visible.
Let's always be wise and be happy with what we have with us. The life will be meaningful..
