A Story for All

Salam sejahtera..

..pasted from here.

A water bearer in China had two large pots, each hung on the
ends of a pole which he carried across his neck.. One of the pots
had a crack in it, 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 house, the
cracked pot arrived only half full.
For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer
delivering only one
and a half pots full of water to his house.
Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments,
perfect 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 2 years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it
spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream.
“I am ashamed of myself, and because this crack in my side
causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.”
The bearer said to the pot,
“Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of
the path,
but not on the other pot’s side?
That’s because I have always known about your flaw, and I
planted flower
seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk
back, you’ve watered them.
For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers
to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are,
there would not be this beauty to grace the house”

Moral: Each of us has our own unique flaws. We’re all cracked
pots.
But it’s the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives
together so very interesting and rewarding.
You’ve just got to take each person for what they are, and
look for the good in them.

Blessings to all my crackpot friends!!

Comments : We too may be cracked pots.Let the cracks help someone along the way.
