In a dark room there were four lit candles… The illumination was weak but it still filled the room. The candles burned and were consumed slowly. The room was so quite that one could hear their conversation. The first started to talk and said to the others…”I’m peace. But human beings fail to maintain peace; so nothing is left for me to do but to extinguish myself!” And so it did… Little by little the candle left its flame goes out completely. After a few moments, the second candle said,” I’m faith, but unfortunately, there is no need for me. Human beings do not want to have anything to do with me. And for this reason it makes no sense that I remain alight…” The candle stopped speaking and after, a few moments…A light breeze blew on the candle and puts its flame out. With profound sadness, the third candle said, “I’m Love, but I do not have strength to continue burning. Human beings do not recognize my value. And they do not understand my importa...

Once upon a time, there was a King who loved to hunt. One day whilst hunting, the king shot a wild leopard. The king ran towards it to see if it was dead or not, when suddenly the nearly dead leopard jumped up and attacked the king. The chief servant managed to kill the leopard but couldn’t prevent his majesty from losing a finger. Furious, the king said his servant, “If God was good, I would not have been attacked and I certainly wouldn’t have lost a finger!” The servant replied, “Despite all of these things, I can only tell you that God is great and everything happens is for good. Everything God does is perfect and He is never wrong.” Outraged by his response, the king asked the servant, “If I put you in prison, would you still think that is best for you?” The servant without fear, humbly replied, “Yes my Lord! I would still think that is the best arrangement for me.” The now enraged king ordered that the servant be imprisoned at once. Three ...

That dog is barking at us!” A couple sitting nearby rudely stared at the girl’s childish behavior with judgement… But the girl continued to yell with the joy. “And Mom! Look! That man is whistling for a taxi!” The couple finally spoke up and asked her mother…”Why don’t you take your daughter to the doctor…?” “She is confused in the head and she needs help.” The mom smiled and said… “Actually we just left the hospital…” “My Daughter was deaf from birth, but that all changed student.” “She is just now hearing for the first time.” Don’t be so quick to judge someone. The truth might surprise you. Don’t judge someone just because they sin differently than you. Stop labeling people just because they are not like you. B...

And although it seems normal for you – wanting only the best thing for yourself is the source of your problems and stress. You need to understand, that the cup doesn’t make the coffee better. Most of the time its only more expensive, but sometimes it is hiding what we are drinking. Actually, all that you wanted was the coffee, not the cup. But you cons...

I think that would be the safest.” The fourth man said, “I think we are absolutely on the right track already, and so I am going to keep walking straight.” After the four men took to the left, the right, back and straight respectively, the fifth man said, “well I don’t know what to do, and I think I am just going to climb up this tall tree and get a better view around before I make up my mind.” From the top of the tree the fifth man could now see what the shortest way to the village was.

A farmer had 3 donkeys and was taking them for sale to the market. On the way he saw a river and desired to take a dip. There was an issue though, he only had 2 ropes and thus would be able to tie only 2 of his 3 donkeys to a tree. How to tie the 3 rd one? He wondered. Around there he saw a wise man and he approached him for a rope to tie his 3 rd donkey. The man did not have a rope but had a brilliant suggestion. He told the farmer, “Tie the 2 donkeys up to a tree with the ropes you have and make sure that the 3 rd donkey is watching. Then simply pretend to tie the 3 rd one.” The farmer followed the man’s advice and went for a dip in the river. When he came back, he saw that the donkeys stood exactly at the same spot where he had left them. He thanked the wise man, untied the donkeys and patted the third one so it starts moving as well. After going a little distance, he turned around and was surprised to see the third donkey still sta...

There were two independent houses separated by a compound wall. In one lived a young guy and in another an elderly, retired man. Both of them planted identical saplings on their respective side of the compound wall. The young guy supplied his plant with a lot of water and high quality manure. The retired man however gave his plant just a small quantity of water and little manure. The young guy sapling grew into a lush green, leafy, robust plant. The retired persons plant was near normal but much luxuriant than his neighbor's. One night there was a heavy rain with gusty winds and the next morning both came to see the fate of their plants. To the young guy’s surprise his plants had been uprooted where as his neighbor's was unharmed. The young guy turns to the neighbor and asked, “Why was my plant uprooted by the rains despite such good care where as yours stayed firmed and strong despite just a little care?” The neighbor answered, “...

There was a King who received a very special gift – two beautiful, magnificent, peregrine falcons. He handed them over to a man who was expert in training falcons. After a couple of months the trainer informed the king that one of the 2 falcons was doing really well, flying majestically! Soaring into heights of the sky! But the other one it has not moved at all from its branch – from the very day that he started training them. The King brought healers and sorcerers from all over the place to try and get the falcon to move, but the bird just wouldn’t fly. Having tried everything he could, the frustrated King said to his minister, “May be we need someone more familiar with nature. Someone who understands animal and birds. I think only such a person can solve this problem. Go, look for someone like this from the countryside and assign this task to him.” The next morning, the King was thrilled to see the 2 nd falcon soaring high above the palace gardens. ...
