Change Yourself
Once upon a time, there was a king who ruled a prosperous country. One day, he went on a trip to some distant areas of his country. After he returned to his palace, he complained that his feet were very painful, because it was the first time that he had undertaken such a long trip. The roads that he went through had been very rough and stony.
The king then ordered his people to cover every road of the entire country with leather. Definitely, this would need thousands of cows’ hides, and would also cost an exorbitant amount of money. Then one of his wise councilors dared himself to suggest to the king, “Why do you have to wastefully spend such a huge amount of money? Why don’t you instead just cut out a little piece of leather to cover your feet?” The king was surprised, but later agreed to the wise practical suggestion to have a pair of shoes made for himself.
Moral: To make this world a happy place to live in, you need to change yourself - your heart and your mindset; and not the world!
