An Old Man Lived in the Village
An old man lived in the village. He was one of the most
unfortunate people in the world. The whole village was tired of him; he was
always gloomy, he constantly complained and was always in a bad mood.
The longer he lived, the more bile he was becoming and the
more poisonous were his words. People avoided him, because his misfortune
became contagious. It was even unnatural and insulting to be happy next to him.
He created the feeling of unhappiness in others.
But one day, when he turned eighty years old, an incredible
thing happened. Instantly everyone started hearing the rumor:
“An Old Man is happy today, he doesn’t complain about
anything, smiles, and even his face is freshened up.”
The whole village gathered together. The old man was asked:
Villager: What happened to you?
“Nothing special. Eighty years I’ve been chasing happiness,
and it was useless. And then I decided to live without happiness and just enjoy
life. That’s why I’m happy now.” – An Old Man
Moral of the story:Don’t chase happiness. Enjoy your life.
