Hello everyone,
The Path to Happiness
I help people find happiness, the old man told them.
It is within everyone's reach, provided one truly wants it.
From the ceiling where they were hanging, a heavy chain and a thick rope were dangling.
- Consider this rope and this chain. They may well have something to tell you.
They looked with all their eyes and noticed that nothing was happening.
They looked more closely.
Every link in the chain, every twisted strand of the rope,
represented an important notion written on it.
Their host explained to them:
- Most people make a terrible mistake.
In their minds, they craft a sort of chain
with everything they consider important for their happiness
and when one of the links breaks, which is not uncommon,
Their entire chain is falling apart and their happiness is on the ground!
All the other links in the chain may have held firm,
They no longer have any value.
That is why such a person who is the victim of a minor incident,
like losing a key, to the point where the entire world seems to be crumbling around him.
-
What should we do?
-
One must learn to braid the ropes of happiness,
so that if a strand breaks,
and even if the strength of the rope is slightly diminished as a result,
Nothing gives way or collapses, and it is much easier to repair.
Kisses to you
