There was this king that had 10 wild dogs? He used them to torture any of his ministers who made mistakes. So one of the ministers once gave an opinion which was wrong, and which the king didn't like at all. So he ordered that the minister be thrown to the dogs.So the minister said, “I served you 10 years and you want to do this???? Please give me 10 days before you throw me to those dogs" So the king agreed. In those 10 days the minister went to the guard that was guarding the dogs and told him he wants to serve the dogs for the next 10 days. The guard was baffled. But he agreed. So the minister started feeding the dogs, cleaning for them, washing them, providing all sorts of comfort for them.So when the 10 days were up, the king ordered that the minister be thrown in to the dogs for his punishment. But when he was thrown in, people were amazed at what they saw. The dogs were licking the feet of the minister!So the king baffled at what he saw. He said: "what happened !” The minister then said;” I served the dogs for 10 days and they didnt forget my Service. Yet I served you for 10 years and you forgot all at the first mistake!”? So the king realized his mistake and ordered the minister to go free.This is a gift to all those who forget the good in others as soon as a problem arises. Dont wipe out the history that is filled with good because of a small incident you didnt like. We are better than animals, and we must prove it in our behaviors.
Thanks.
Until thought is linked with purpose there is no intelligent accomplishment. With the majority the bark of thought is allowed to "drift" upon the ocean of life. Aimlessness is a vice, and such drifting must not continue for him who would steer clear of catastrophe and destruction. They who have no central purpose in their life fall an easy prey to petty worries, fears, troubles, and self-pityings, all of which are indications of weakness, which lead, just as surely as deliberately planned sins (though by a diff route), to failure, unhappyness, and loss, for weakness cannot persist in a power-evolving universe. A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be a worldly object, ...
