The parable of the happy man. The parables about living with morality are short. Magic penny. parable

Good afternoon, my dear friends!

As always, let's start the conversation about happiness, about how success and happiness are connected with parables.

Parable about happiness.

The sage walked along the road, enjoying the beauty of the world around him, admiring a sunny day, flowering fields, colorful butterflies. Towards him, hunched over from an overwhelming burden, walked an unhappy man who was clearly not up to the joys of the world.

“For what purpose do you condemn yourself to unbearable suffering? Why do you need this? ”The sage asked him.

“I suffer for the happiness of my children and grandchildren. My great-grandfather suffered all his life so that his grandfather was happy, and my grandfather suffered, taking care of happiness for my father. So that happiness would not bypass my home, my father suffered. And I will endure all the suffering for the happiness of my children and grandchildren, ”he heard in response.

"Was anyone in your family happy?"

"No, but my children and grandchildren will certainly be happy!"

“An illiterate cannot teach reading, and a mole will never raise an eagle! To understand how to make happy children and grandchildren, you must first learn to be happy yourself, ”said the sage.

Parable about family happiness.

Two families lived nearby in a small town. In one of them there are eternal quarrels and strife, and in the other, happiness and mutual understanding have settled. How the obstinate mistress envied that everything was so fine in the neighbor's house. One day she says to her husband: "Go to the neighbors, see what makes everything so quiet and smooth."

There is nothing to do, the man went to the neighbors, quietly entered the house and in a secluded corner and hid. He watches with interest what is happening in the house. And the hostess, humming merrily, tidies up the house and she deftly turns out everything.

And then I began to wipe the expensive vase from dust, but the phone rang at the wrong time. The woman was distracted, and put the vase on the very edge of the table. At this time, her husband also needed something in the room. He hooked on the vase and dropped it on the floor.

“Lord, what will happen now,” thought the hidden neighbor.

And the woman, sighing with regret, said to her husband: “Sorry, dear, I put the vase down so casually. It's my fault".

“What are you, dear? I didn’t notice the vase in a hurry, and it’s my fault. And in other matters, the main thing is that no greater misfortune should come to us ”.

… How painful it was to listen to all this to a neighbor. It pinched his heart. I was very upset and went home quietly.

“And why did you go there for so long? What did you manage to spy on? " - his wife met him on the doorstep.

"Managed!"

"Well, how are they doing there?"

"They are all to blame, but we are all always right."

The parable of the happy and unhappy.

There was one person in the world. He was very rich and famous. It would seem that success and happiness are his constant companions. He had everything he could only dream of, what he liked and what he liked - he had everything: dozens of cars and even an airplane, and no one considered the rest. But at the same time he was completely unhappy. Even ascending into the sky on an airplane, he felt nothing but sadness.

All his desires were fulfilled instantly, and he did not have them already. There was not a single obstacle on his way that would interfere with success and happiness, but they were absent. A rich courtyard, exquisite cuisine, amazing attractions, travel - nothing amused him. He himself could not explain the cause of his suffering. Sadness and discontent were his constant companions.

And he decided to commit suicide, for which he went to the river. And on the shore, a beggar was fishing for himself in order to figure out a simple supper. Rejoices at the fish caught, like a piece of gold. All glows with happiness.

"And why are you so happy?" - asked the unfortunate man.

"Why, the evening is so warm, the sunset is beautiful and my dinner will be excellent."

"Is this really enough to be so happy and content with your life?"

"Yes, today success accompanies me and I'm just happy!" - answered the beggar.

“You don’t have anything.”

“Oh, yes, I am the richest in this world,” the beggar looked at the rich man in bewilderment.

“I have it all, but what is your wealth if you don’t even have shoes?”

The beggar smiled slyly: “I have the main thing: my desires, goals, the future in which I aspire, an infinite number of problems that need to be overcome. I solve the most exciting crossword puzzle - my own life. What could be more interesting. Today I am the luckiest person on this earth, I have a wonderful dinner. And I am happy, I am happy! "

The rich man reflected for a long time in the dark night, returning home. What he understood is not known, but the next day he disappeared. They could not find him and he himself did not appear anymore. Obviously he left in search of success and happiness, where there are problems, plans, goals, dreams. To a world where desires appear.

Rejoice if you still have desires in your life that have not been fulfilled, problems that you have to cope with, tasks awaiting your solution. When all this is gone, the joy of achievement will disappear. An endless night will come, in which success and happiness cannot be considered.
