I have a story to tell
Out of a bag of coins, one falls and the owner watched it till it rolled into the ocean. The ocean in its richness has nothing to do with the coin. From the bag of the rich man which it fell, he did not feel the loss because he had lots.
Now the rich man gets to a river and needs to buy a boat to cross only to be short of a coin.
Now he cannot cross the river and get to his destination. If only he had picked the coin and not allow it roll into the ocean. The coin is now precious in its owners mind but he can’t own it again, the coin wonders off in the wild ocean , swept around for years till it was caught in a poor fisherman’s net. Out if fishes it glittered and it was more precious in the sight of the poor fisherman than the rich man.
The fisherman was joyful and cherished the coin.
We would ever believe that an abandoned coin can make a poor fisherman become a king.
Does it sound like a fairy tale?
Even if it does, it’s applicable to all.
Anybody that can be saved should be saved.
Any friendship that can be saved should be saved.
Any love that can be saved should be saved.
Don’t let your coin wonder off.
Everyone in our life is like a precious coin. Different coins with different values and sometimes the value of may be hidden from us.
We all have a bag of coins, when one coin drops off intentionally or not, save it because you might get to a bridge in life and might be short of that particular coin and you might not be able to cross.
Since I have understood words, I have always heard my mum advise that when you are passing through a door, don’t bang it because you might need to go through that door again.
But honestly do you know that there are some persons that hurts you so badly and you feel like banging the door even nailing it if possible so that you never have cause to pass through ‘such doors’ again.
Well it’s obvious that there are some persons that one must avoid so that they don’t cause further damage to us.
But sometimes not banging the door means forgiving them and letting go of resentments and pains.
Sometimes not banging the door means not giving up, refusing to stay down.
Sometimes not banging the door is trying again, forging ahead and reaching for the stars.
Sometimes not banging the door means shutting your ears to the noises around and focusing on the inner voice.
Sometimes not banging the door means moving forward.
In life, we will definitely come across different persons, some will come into our lives to hurt us, some will come to hate, some will come to love, some will come to compete, some will come to care, some will come to challenge, some will come to praise…. The list seems endless. But nevertheless always have it at the back of your mind that you have a bag of coins and each coin has a value.
