When it hurts you ...
An elderly teacher in India was tired of the constant complaints of his disciple. And so, one morning he sent him to bring salt. When he returned, the teacher forced the disgruntled young man to pour a handful of salt into a glass of water and then drink it.
- What taste does it have? He asked.
"Bitter," said the disciple.
The teacher smirked, then told the young man to pour the same amount of salt into the lake. The two men went silently to the nearby lake, and when the disciple threw a handful of salt into the water, the old man said,
"Drink now from the lake.
When the water touched his lips, the teacher asked him again:
- What taste does it have?
"Sweet," said the answer this time.
Then the teacher sat down next to the young man, who so much reminded him of himself in his youth, grasping his hands and saying,
- The pain in life is a handful of pure salt - more and less. It always remains the same. But the bitterness we taste depends on the dish that dissolves the pain. So when it hurts you can only expand your own perception ... Do not be a glass. Be a lake.
Much love - Krisii

A wonderful story ... but also positive thinking can change salt into sugar
