//Dil Se Desi// Simple story with a profound moral


A water bearer in China had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole, which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.  At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot always arrived only half full.
For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments; perfect for the job it was made for. 
But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and was miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.  After 2 years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream.
"I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house" The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw, and I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you've watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table.  Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house"
 

 Moral: Each of us has our own unique flaws. We're all cracked pots & it's the cracks and flaws each one of us have that make our lives together very interesting and rewarding. You've just got to take each person as he or she is, and look for the good in him or her - remember, others give you the same chance too.

In case you have not noticed, some of the most beautiful flowers are found on weeds, thistles & wild bush!!
