Why the World is Considered to be Selfish

 Once upon a time, there was an old man living in a village far away from the city. He was having many hens and he always treated those hens very well by providing them a fulsome food. One of his hens was a very special hen as she was a golden hen who used to lay a golden egg on a daily basis. The old man was very kind and all the hens lived very happily under his control of that old man.

Why the World is Considered to be Selfish
One day that golden hen told the old man that I am sick of this routine of laying a golden egg daily. I want freedom from this place and want to go anywhere else. She was of the opinion that life in a city is much easier than in a village as the people of the city area are always more hospitable and caring. An old man advises the hen that this world is very selfish and humans are very greedy. They never facilitate anyone without any yield out of him/her. You cannot live with freedom and will not be able to enjoy your life as you want. This is the rule of this world that people treat you well if they have some interest in you otherwise you will witness obnoxious behavior from them. But the hen remained adamant to go to the city for enjoying the freedom which she always dreamed of. At last, the old man allowed the hen to go and to live her life as she wishes.

The hen was very happy; she left the old man’s home and her good friends for the sake of freedom and for her dream life. While she was going to the city, a shopkeeper saw her. The shopkeeper was very surprised to see a golden hen and he started putting some food in front of her. The hen considered the shopkeeper a generous person, as she thought he is feeding her without any voracity. But she was wrong; as the shopkeeper trapped her by putting food and caught the hen to put her in a cage. The hen requested the shopkeeper to set her free but he rejected her appeal. The shopkeeper told her to lay a golden egg so that he may make money by selling it but the hen refuse to do so. The shopkeeper got annoyed and told the hen that he will slaughter her if she didn’t lay a golden egg. The hen got afraid and laid a golden egg unwillingly.

The shopkeeper was very happy, he ran to a goldsmith to sell the golden egg and told him that he will get such a golden egg on a daily basis from the golden hen and will become rich in a few days. The goldsmith told the shopkeeper, not to wait for an egg daily, but rather sell the hen to him and get a huge amount to become rich. The shopkeeper was very greedy, so he sold the hen to that goldsmith. The goldsmith got the hen and decided to slaughter her and will make a golden necklace out of her flesh. The hen was weeping and was thinking of the old man’s advice that this world is very selfish. No one cares about you without some profit from you. Then the goldsmith called a butcher to slaughter the hen. When they both were getting ready to complete their mission, the hen attacked both the goldsmith and the butcher by using her beak. She ran away from that place to the village where she was living in the house of an old man, with her friends. She begged pardon from the old man for disobeying him and told him the complete story, of what happened with her in the city. The old man was very happy as the hen accepted her mistake and got the picture of the world’s selfish approach.

Why Happiness is Considered the State of Mind

Happiness and satisfaction are the state of mind. It can never be assumed that a person is happy due to too much money or having plenty of facilities. We can never say that a person is happy after being well settled. Rather we generally see poor people more satisfied than the rich. Then what is the thing for the poor to retain him happy, this is inner satisfaction. In other words we can say, the state of mind which makes him happy and contented. We take an example of such condition. Ashfaq Ahmad, who was a very known writer of Pakistan says that he has served for several years in Radio Pakistan and got posted at various locations. He also remained posted at Gilgit Radio Station. It was a small office but in a beautiful place. There a person named Ghulab, who was a low paid employee at Gilgit Radio Station and was doing duty as a office boy. Ghulab always remained unhappy and worried by his appearance. We never saw him happy and contented. We thought him unhappy because of his financial...

Why Hard work is Always Better than Begging

 Hard work is the key to success. nothing in this world is impossible for a person who targets to achieve with commitment and hard work. If we give a fried fish to a person without any of his efforts, then he will become habitual of doing nothing and aging the benefit without hard work, but if we teach him how to catch a fish, and use it as his food, then he will be more benefitted and will never try to beg in front of anyone. We can justify this statement by the following story. There was a school in a village, where children of mostly poor communities were getting their education. No uniform code was there in this school and students used to come in any of their available dresses. Education standards were reasonable but the teachers of this school were very much committed to their job in grooming their students, especially with respect to general ethics. The poor people were earning their livings hardly but were committed to educating the next generation for a better future. One ...
