Blessings and Disguise

A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on each end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it , and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master’s house, the cracked pot arrived only halffull.

For a full two year this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water in his master’s house. Of course, the perfect was proud of its accomplishments, perfect to the end for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do

After two year of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the steam. “I am ashamed of my self, and I want to apologise to you. “why?” ‘I have been able , for these past two years, to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your master’s house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don’t get full value from your efforts,”the pot said.

The water bearer felt sorry for the old cracked pot , and in his compassion he said , As we return to the master’s house, I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path. “Indeed, as they went up the hill, the old cracked pot took notice of up the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path, and this charred it somewhat. But at the end of the trail.it still felt bad beacuse it had leaked out half its load, and so again it apologised to the bearer for its failure.

The bearer said to the pot,”Did you notice that there were flower only on your side of your path, but not on the other pot’s side? That’s because I have always known about your flaw, and I took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back from the stream, you’ve watered them For two year I have been able to pick these beautiful flower to decorate my master’s table. Without you being just the way you are , he would not have this beauty to grace his house.”

Moral: Each of us has our own unique flaws. We’re all cracked pots. In this world, nothing goes to waste. You may think like the cracked pot that you are inefficient or useless in certain areas of your life, but somehow these flaws can turn out to be blessing in disguise.”

Let It Go

Forgiveness is the beginning of healing. When we forgive, it doesn’t lessen our pain but it does help us to heal.

There are people who apologise for their mistakes and there are those who would  never admit it. When someone apologises, we have a feeling that they are regretful. Many times we choose to forgive, because we know what has been done cannot be undone. There are times when we forgive them even if they haven’t apologised. This happens when we reach a certain level of understanding of life. We realise that life is the greatest teacher and everyone learns a lesson in their own way.

Forgive others because you do not want to live in that pain every moment. It might seem hard but when you experience the healing that comes with it, you will never choose to hold on to any grudge and be in pain.

An old Thug, A conman and the POTUS

The POTUS is a broke man, he is probably the worst nightmare of the policy makers in the US, they are coming to terms to the fact that the systems built and the powers bestowed to the POTUS are just enormous and now they know what happens if a morally debouched man like Trump comes to the throne, it costs lives and decades of hard work, diplomatic web shattered and alliances put to test.

World is quickly moving on and the leadership vacuums made by US will not last long, EU for instance is now realising its strength and they know they can’t depend on US anymore against the Russia, the unpredictable USA will need decades to clean the mess created by Trump that too if he doesn’t win another term in the office, because if he dose, he will make USA irrelevant again.

A debt of 450million dollars, just imagine how desperate he would be, in the debate with Joe Biden, he reached out to the white supremacist groups in front of the whole world, and world watched in dismay the unabashed embrace of one of the most evil and barbaric ideology “Racism”.

But if you look deeper, you will understand this is a dire effort from a desperate man who is sunk deep in debt, responsible for the deaths of 2 hundred thousand Americans and desperate for support to stage a comeback, even if it comes from the most deplorable low lives of the planet.

I feel strange when I see educated and affluent people in support of Trump, he can easily put Indian politicians to shame, with what he says and what he tweets, its funny to see so much power in the hands of one man and he has shamelessly distributed it to his family and his incompetent loyalists.
