Your Worries Are Much Better Than Others Worries
Your Worries Are Much Better Than Others Worries
Only from outside, we think that others are not worrying. When you come near, share with others, when you share your life with others, when you share your worry with each other, you will have a very clear understanding that your worries are much better than others worries.
Once, in a kingdom ruled over by a very benevolent king, many people came to the king and reported to him that they were in very deep worries. They were reportedly unable to come out of their worries. However the common refrain was that the other person was not worrying! Only he was worrying. This naturally disturbed the king a bit, and he decided, "If everybody says so, why not have an exchange offer? Let us have an exchange offer!" He hit upon an idea and gave the instructions – whomsoever wants to exchange their worries with the others can come and participate.
The function was elaborately organized. After all it is not everyday that one gets to exchange ones worries! In the center of a big plain ground, a big pot was placed, a ' worry pot' as it were. Into this pot, each willing person could throw his worries, tied up in a bag. But he had to pick up some other bag. After all it was an exchange offer. They were free to throw in their worry bag and pick up any other
bag.
The whole kingdom gathered and there was a festive air, an air of expectancy. Who would start first? They saw each other and started talking to each other, and when they shared their worries with each other, shared each other's problems, the king saw that at the end of the allotted time, nobody was ready to throw in their worry! Nobody had come forward to put his worry into the pot!
The king asked, "What happened?" Everybody said in one voice, "The worry that we already have itself is enough. Now at this stage if we get some new worries, we do not know how to face it! At least we are acquainted with our existing worries. We are comfortable with it. We can pull or push and drag our life along with the known worries. But if we are to get new worries, we will have new worries, just thinking about how to deal with the new worries! After all, a known devil is better than an unknown angel! We will have to get settled with the unknown devil. Because surely the new worry will not be an angel. Who knows whether we will be able to get settled at all? No, we don't know!" So, nobody wants to even exchange the worries.
WORRY ONLY COMES FROM INSIDE, WHEN YOUR NOT ITEGRATED AND AUTHENTIC TO YOURSELF.
