Once upon a time there was a turtle,
when he was born at some sea side at the
time when there was a storm going on in the sea; at that time the turtle felt
scared of the storm and sea and decided never to go in to the sea to avoid the
storm altogether, over next few days and weeks all his friends bid their good
bye, went into the sea and started doing things turtles are supposed to and
this guy alone choosing to staying
behind
Seasons changed and the time passed
and somehow the turtle survived living off the shore. After some time when the
mating season came other turtles started visiting the shore again he met again
some of his friends. He told them (proudly) that he felt very secure here, the
food is in plenty at the shore and he is the star attraction of the people
visiting the shore.
One of his old mate and his best buddy
kept on hearing patiently and after some time asked him - I understand you are healthy and happy
here, people love you a lot but is that what you really want? Are you really
NOT going to enjoy your life due to one storm?
Yes off course storms will come, but
they also will pass away as well, Yes there are fishes in the sea which can eat
us up, but there are also the most beautiful things in the sea which can NOT even
dream to see in your life. You can always remain at the shore being scared but
remember it is NOT up to others to find
the meaning of your life from the events happening around but it is only up to
you on how you see or perceive them, the devil and the saint are only inside
you; it is okay to be scared but it is a SIN to live a life in a shell being
scared or something, instead of overcoming the fear and enjoying the god given
opportunity… remember it is only up to you on making the choice between “to die
daily with fear” or “having one life time in its full beauty, glory and valor"
