There was a millionaire who was bothered by severe eye pain. He consulted so many physicians and was getting his treatment done. He did not stop consulting galaxy of medical experts; he consumed heavy loads of drugs and underwent hundreds of injections.

But the ache persisted with great vigour than before. At last a monk who has supposed to be an expert in treating such patients was called for by the millionaire. The monk understood his problem and said that for sometime he should concentrate only on green colours and not to fall his eyes on any other colours.

The millionaire got together a group of painters and purchased barrels of green color and directed that every object his eye was likely to fall to be painted in green colour just as the monk had directed.

When the monk came to visit him after few days, the millionaire's servants ran with buckets of green paints and poured on him since he was in red dress, lest their master not see any other colour and his eye ache would come back.

Hearing this monk laughed said "If only you had purchased a pair of green spectacles, worth just a few rupees, you could have saved these walls and trees and pots and all other articles and also could have saved a large share of his fortune.

You cannot paint the world green." Let us change our vision and the world will appear accordingly. It is foolish to shape the world, let us shape ourselves first.

Lets change our vision..!!

Wow Priya, well chosen article: instead of trying to change everything or everybody around us just to make us feel more comfortable maybe we should just try to change ourselves, seek for what is wrong in our vision or behaviour.

There is another saying, which I had read somewhere ::

" Its easier to protect your feet with a pair of shoes to walk on the rough path, instead of flooring the whole earth! "

Dear Claudia,

Thanks for the time to search for the source...It would surely, take some time, but I am sure its worth respecting the "decision" we had reached recently about the posts.
