A crow lived in a forest. The crow was very satisfied with his life. But one day he saw a swan….. But as the saying goes, “If you cross the river with your breath, I believe you will be happy.” The crow thought, oh! How beautiful the swan! Surely he is the happiest bird in this world. The crow told the swan about his thoughts.
The swan replied, “Indeed, I thought I was the happiest bird in the world until I saw a teal… The teal has two colors on it. So now I think the tiya is the happiest bird in creation.”
The crow then went to Tia. Tia told him, “I was very, very happy, until I saw the peacock…… I have only two colors on my body, and the peacock's body is full of colors!”
The crow then went to the zoo to meet the peacock. There he saw hundreds of people gathering to see the peacock. After everyone left, the crow went to the peacock – “O peacock, how beautiful you look! Thousands of people flock to see you every day. And me? People chase me away when they see me. You must be the happiest bird in the world.”
Peacock replied,
“I used to think I was probably the most beautiful and happiest bird on the planet. But because of this beauty I have been kept in a cage. I have observed this zoo very closely and realized that the only bird that is never caged. So for the past few days I have been thinking, esh! If I were a crow, I could fly wherever I wanted.”
That is our problem. We unnecessarily compare ourselves with others and suffer.
We don't give any importance to what God has given us. In this way we are all stuck in a vicious circle of sorrow.
