HACK THE HISTORY WITH US
Once upon a time, a king announced to prize
the artist who would paint the best painting depicting peace. Many great
painters sent the king several of their best art pieces. One of the pictures
among the various masterpieces was of a calm lake perfectly mirroring
peacefully towering snow-capped mountains. Overheard was a blue clear sky with
fluffy clouds. The pictures were perfect. Most of the people who viewed the
pictures of peace from various artists thought that it was the best among all.
But when the king announced the winner,
everyone was shocked. The picture which won the prize had mountains too but it
was empty and rugged. In this painting, the sky looked very angry, there was
lightning. This did not look peaceful at all. It looked like the artist has
mistakenly submitted his painting depicting storm rather than peace. But if
anyone looked closely at the painting, he could see a tiny bush growing in the
cracks in the rock. In the bush, a mother bird had built her nest. In the
situation of the rush of angry weather, the bird still was sat on her nest with
peace.
The mother bird at her calm, despite her
chaotic surrounding indeed was the best representation for peace.
“Peace does not mean to be in a place where
no trouble and noise. Peace means to be amid all the anarchy and still be calm
in the heart. Real peace is the state of mind, not the state of the
surroundings.”
Outstanding… As always
