How To Deal With Your Problems

There was once an unhappy apprentice. He got so tired of his world and thought of nothing else but to commit suicide so as to be free from his troubles. 

One day, he pleaded for help from his Master. The old man instructed the unhappy young man to put a handful of salt in a glass of water and then drink it. How does it taste?" the Master asked.

"Awful," spat the apprentice.

The Master chuckled and then asked the young man to take another handful of salt and put it in the lake.

The two walked in silence to the nearby lake and when the apprentice swirled his handful of salt into the lake,

The old man said, "Now drink from the lake."

As the water dripped down the young man's chin, the Master asked, "How does it taste? “Good!" remarked the apprentice. "Do you taste the salt?" asked the Master. "No," said the young man. 

The Master sat beside this troubled young man, took his hands, and said, “The pain of life is pure salt; no more, no less. The amount of pain in life remains the same, exactly the same. But the amount we take in depends on the container we put it into.”

So when you are in pain, the only thing you can do is to enlarge your sense of things, a solution would come and you will feel the pain no more.

Stop being a Glass, Become a LAKE! You are the container of everything that concerns you.
