WHO IS RICH
&WHO IS POOR
​
One day​
​
The father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live​





 They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family



 Ontheir return from their trip, the father asked his son

How was the trip?
It was great, Dad.
Did you see how poor people live?the father asked.
Oh yeah,said the son.So, tell me, what you learned from the trip? asked the father.



The son answered:

Isawthat we have one dog and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end…



 …We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.
Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond



 …We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.
We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to protect us; they have friends to protect them



 Theboy's father was speechless

Then his son added,​
Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are​



 Isn'tperspective a wonderful thing?

Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have

Good thought indeed :)

The underlying meaning of the story highlights the importance of outlook of a person, manner of looking at things and his perception.

We all have our own problems, and I think problems just change shapes & sizes but we cant escape them for long ! So, its always better to look for a ray of hope amidst the gloomy picture of our day to day problems.

Its easy to find ourselves hooked with a problem, but we all know it isnt worth it. We must try to find the silver lining and never leave the caring hand of optimism !:)

I think you misinterpreted the whole thing !

Firstly, the statement made by you is based on some misunderstanding as you interpreted my comment in an all together different perspective. I wrote 'bad comment' in a jovial sense and that too for Devender, who I know handles satires positively (and it was a satire).

There was nothing serious about that and your very own contention that I didnt appreciated that rests on the shoulders of you own perception you arrived at after reading that. Quite possible that I should have written it in some other way, but I put a smiling smiley to highlight my 'tone' ! :) ..... like this !!

Secondly, is appreciating all about extra sweetness ? NO ! Its literal meaning is "to grasp the nature, worth, quality, or significance" or "to judge with heightened perception or understanding" ! It no where says you cant debate upon it to arrive at something more appreciable, more valuable:)

Had I not appreciated his reply, why should have I said "there was something else which came from my head what about that ?" :rolleyes:

After all its a virtual world in the sense that there are numerous possibilities where we cant be too clear with our tone, emotions etc. So, it was something very far from "not appreciating" :)

And last but not the least, even if you think it that way then if a person cant understand something but can make others understand or atleast ponder over it with all others whats the harm ? May be I didnt understood it, but cant I even try? Here, I must say if someone cant appreciate something he must atleast not condemn it for no reason.:)

And I appreciate your reply because now here is an example how I handled it positively. And to add to it, it helped me understand that many a times our simple and fair statements can be interpreted otherwise and we should be a little bit more cautious !

Bahut badhiya kaha Yogender ji, isliye nahi ki yaha appreciation ki baate chal rahi hain balki isliye ki ek aur bada acha concept mujhe yaad aa gaya !:p:)

Here it goes :

There is a fat line between being a learner and a hypocrite but still quite often we end up mixing both these concepts for a reason or the other !

Now the meaning :

If someone starts a thread on Aids or Cancer then is it obvious that he has it? :o hahahahaaa ! :p Same goes here ! :)

If I started a thread depicting the significance of appreciating all things around, then does it mean I am perfect at this ! No ! It just means that this concept caught mt attention and I thought like sharing with all of us along with trying to incorporate in my own life. So, am I a learner or a hypocrate?
 
exactly!

Guys.....try to grab the book "The Secret"
best seller by Rhonda Byrnes

emphasises to count ur blessings n stay happy
n further informs that u can posess EVERYTHING u r crazy about! ANYTHING u r passionate about--has been true for me till nw!!

Universe conspires in getting the thing for u-believe me--but the condition is U SHUD BE POSITIVE N BELIEVE ALREADY ITS ALL URS!
pretty easy!

u ought 2 be just hopeful n trust in ways of God n Voila! u will end receiving it

but as they said- u shud pray/desire/ask for things with caution,,,as u may end up gettin it!! hah!:D

Ms Shweta, thanks for taking time to explain your point of view. I appreciate your comments. If you read my comments, I did not say that you are hypocrate. I did not know that you are a learner. It is good to preach what you said above but it is too hard to appreciate always what ever you have and all things around you. I agree that the attitude of a person should always be positive though it is not practical in every situation.
Now your comments shows that you are really working hard on it.
Please keep up the good work.
Thanks.
