spice up life

A man goes to the monk and tells him
"I wish to experience only good part of life, i dont want sadness, tears, sorrows, unhappiness. I want to be only HAPPY in my entire life, pray suggest what should i do to achieve that."

The monk thinks for a while and suggests him a remedy,
"You have to cook rice for 2 weeks, but you should cook it with only salt and rice. And come back after 2 week."

The man does as he has been told, for a week he eats the rice quietly happily, but after a week he starts getting bored and comes back to the monk and complains to him "I can't eat salt and rice again and again for so many days".

The monk then tells him to do the same thing, "but this time use sugar instead of salt".
The man feels sugar is better than salt so he goes happily, quite bored by same stuff he comes back within a week and complains to the monk the same thing as earlier,

This time the monk tells him to use everything he feels which will make the food tasty - salt, spices etc and eat different dish everyday. and now if you understand what i wanted to teach you then you don't need to come back here.

But the man returns... looking different this time, happy, content and cheerful.
He comes to the monk and tells him "I wanted to be happy but now i know that problems, sadness happy moments are the spices of life and without the life is unbearable"



I believe, nothing is constant, whatever starts end.. there's always next time, next day. No one is entitled to have only happines or only sorrows.
Enjoy the food called life with its spices


this one is for the ilanders, i have seen some are crying for their love, some want only original stuff to read, some wants only jokes but i feel one should learn to accept life as it is.

If you don't like this post then feel free to criticize it, i accept whatever i get... cause its a part of life
