Lessons in Life

Lesson In Life.....

A group of working adults got together to visit their University
lecturer. The lecturer was happy to see them. Conversation soon turned
into complaints about stress in work and life. The Lecturer just
smiled and went to the kitchen to get an assortment of cups - some
porcelain, some in plastic, some in glass, some plain looking and some
looked rather expensive and exquisite. The Lecturer offered his former
students the cups to get drinks for themselves. When all the students
had a cup in hand with water, the Lecturer spoke: "If you noticed, all
the nice looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the
plain and cheap ones. While it is normal that you only want the best
for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What
all you wanted was water, not the cup, but we unconsciously went for
the better cups." "Just like in life, if Life is Water, then the jobs,
money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to
hold/maintain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change." "If we
only concentrate on the cup, we won't have time to enjoy/taste the
water in it." "Faith gives us a new vision of the world. Without it we
see only the darker side of life. We are still slaves. It is faith
which liberates us and makes us see the Spirit of power and love at
work in our lives."
