An old man, stooped by age and hard work,
was gathering sticks in the forest.
As he hobbled painfully along, he thought of his troubles and
began to feel very sorry for himself.
With a hopeless gesture he threw his bundle of sticks
upon the ground and groaned,"life is too hard. I cannot bear it any longer.
If only Death would come and take me!"
Even as the words were out of his mouth,
Death in the form of a skeleton in a black robe, stood before him.
"I heard you called me, sir," he said, " what can i do for you?"
The old man took one look and replied,
"Could you please help me to put this bundle of sticks on my shoulder again?"
As we think of this small story, it touches one's heart. Everyone old and child alike
always complain. We should try not to complain as much as we can.
Complaints can be many if there are many who complains.
But one things is that who does not complain?
If Heaven says "those who not complain will be accepted here?"
Who will be there in heaven. everyone should try one's best to stop
complaining and stop looking only on bad things.
If we see only bad things that means our mind is not healthy rather it's rotten.
To see good is the most necessary things in one's life.
