The grass is always greener on the other side

Once there was farmer who wanted to sell his house and plot. The farmer wanted to start a new life in the city. The farmer arranged for a real estate broker who can possibly help him to achieve his goal. The broker came down to visit the property of the farmer. The broker asked the farmer why he wanted to sell off such an amazing place. The farmer said his house is surrounded with muddy roads and his house oversees a lake which is boring, behind the house is a mountain. 
The broker agreed and he assessed the property and left. A few days passed by. The farmer saw an advertisement about a property for sale. The advertisement read ‘ Breathtaking property away from the city; well-blended with nature, it offers an amazing view of a lake from the balcony of the house and mountains in the backdrop add on to the beauty.’
The farmer read through the advertisement again and again and he realized that the advertisement was about his property and realized how beautiful it truly is. 
The farmer called up on the broker and asked him to cancel the advertisement, as he no longer wanted to sell the property. 
The farmer realized he was living in a great place.

Our desires are neverending, but we must learn to appreciate what we possess.

World moves on without you: There lived a teacher in a small village. He had a wife, a son who was doing his higher studies and daughter who was ready to get married. He was living a contented life when a thought came to his mind that totally disturbed his peaceful existence.  He suddenly thought that he was the reason the whole family was happy. He felt that things wouldn’t be the same for them in his absence. This thought bred in him and over a few days turned into an ego in himself. One day when he was introspecting himself as a teacher he realized that he had become egoistic but it was already late as the ego had got the better of him already.
