When the worst Matters

We are all human beings and everybody wants to have the best of whatever is on the offer. We seem to get engrossed so much in being comfortable and forget that true happiness comes with proper management of one's weaknesses. 
Just like me, and any other normal human being, we have our strengthens and weaknesses. They define us, make us and most important destroy us. 

Nurturing the best part of a person is a total failure in making progress. I mean, why would someone invest in something that is already perfect instead of trying to improve whatever that is not good enough. Therefore, when we all want to achieve absolute satisfaction, I would suggest we shift our attention and efforts to weaknesses.

A story is told of two women who were given pots as presents during their marriage ceremonies. The pots were so beautiful and well embossed with their names on the side. One woman after receiving the pot put some water in it and carefully checked whether there was any crack that could leak the pot. Unfortunately, which I personally consider fortunate, she found a small crack near the neck of the pot which was leaking the water from the pot. 

The other woman did not bother to check her pot because it was just looking great and she was convinced that nothing would be wrong with the pot.

It happened that the women went to fetch water the following day so that they come and do the usual chores at their houses. The lady whose pot was cracked felt that it would be embarrassing if she said her pot was leaking since the other one had not complained about her pot. The other woman whose pot is assumed to be okay had no idea and so did not mention a word.

After fetching water, the woman with a cracked pot was cautious because she knew that her pot was cracked and so had to carry it with a lot of care so that it does not break completely. The other woman having no idea whether the pot was cracked or not held her pot by the neck and as she was putting it on to her head, the entire pot split open pouring the contents on the woman. The other woman with a lot of care managed to put the pot on to her head and take her water home.

MORAL LESSON: When something or someone is looking just perfect, it is good to check for their weaknesses so that you can pay attention on how to manage them. Otherwise, disappointments always come up as a result of ignoring the state in which people are.
