Well

One day, a farmer’s donkey falls into a blind well in one of the villages. The donkey writhes and cries in pain for hours. When the owner who hears his voice comes and looks, he sees the poor donkey at the bottom of the well.

The desperate farmer calls on the villagers for help. The villagers think about what they will do to save the donkey in the blind well, but ultimately decide that it is impossible to save it and it is not worth working for it.

The only remedy is to cover the well with soil. Everybody throws soil into the well from the shovels they take with their shovels. The poor animal shrugs the lands on it every time and dumps to the bottom. After a while, thanks to the soil under his feet, he rises a little more at any moment and eventually goes up. Villagers are very surprised at the donkey that comes out of the well.

Life is sometimes loaded on us and it is as if we are covered with dust and soil. The only way to deal with these is not to complain, but to shake and get rid of, to step into the light. Even if we are in a blind well…

He was someone who did not feel like a man who washed himself in the bath. The handful of dirt filled with the wash pouch was stacked in front of the scholar, as he said, “How dirty are you?” While the slaughtering process is going on, when he finds out that the person he interrupted is someone who has knowledge,

“Sir, you are a profound scholar, ‘what is bravery?’ Can you tell me clearly? ” said.

The great scholar who was being washed had the opportunity to give a thin lesson to the bellman, he said:

“Bravery is not to shake anyone’s shame and flaws, not to show their dirt to him”




Good and Bad

They were sitting in front of the Old Indian chief shed with their grandchildren, watching two wolf dogs struggling with each other. One of the dogs was white, one was black and as long as the ten year old boy knew himself, those dogs were grappling in front of his grandfather’s hut. These were two large wolf dogs that his grandfather always kept in mind and did not take away from him. The boy thought that a dog was enough to protect the hut, he wanted to understand why his grandfather needed the second dog and why the colors were necessarily black and white. He curiously asked his grandfather: The old chief caressed his granddaughter’s back with a wise smile.

– “They” said, “It is two icons for me, son.”

– “What is the symbol?” Asked the boy.

– “Symbol of good and evil. Just like the dogs you see, goodness and evil constantly struggle within us. As I watch them, I always think about it. That’s why I keep them with me. Child, here is the word; He thought, “If there is a struggle, there must be a winner,” and he added a new one to each child’s endless questions:

– “All right,” he said. “Which one do you think wins this struggle?”

The wise chief looked at his grandson with a deep smile.

– “Which one is that kid? Which one do I feed better! ”
