A peacock was very unhappy with his ugly voice, and he spent most of his days complaining about it. "It is true that you cannot sing," said the fox, "But look how beautiful you are!"
"Oh, but what good is all this beauty," moaned the dishearten bird, "with such an unpleasant voice!"
"Oh hear," said the fox, "Each one has it's special gift. You have such beauty, the nightingale has his song, the owl has his eyes, and the eagle his strength. Even if you had a eloquent voice, you would still complain about another thing."
Do not envy the gifts of others. Make the most of your own.
Reflection:
This gives us a lesson that we must be happy and contented with what we have. We must not look unto what others have that we don't have. We must be thankful of what God intended for us, for He knows what are best for us. Just came to realize that we are all created equal. We have the things that others might don't have and others also has the things that we don't have. Just focus on what we have for it will only make us worst if we continue to compare what we have and we don't have. So just chill out and live life to the fullest :)
