An experienced & wise master grew tired of his apprentice complaining. One morning he sent the apprentice for some salt.
When the apprentice returned, the master instructed the unhappy young man to put a handful of salt in a glass of water and drink it.
"How does it taste?" the master asked.
"Bitter," spit the apprentice.
The master chuckled and then asked the young man to put a handful of Salt in the lake nearby.
The two walked to the nearby lake. After the apprentice swirled his
Handful of salt into the water, the old man said, "Now drink from the lake.."
As the water dripped down the young man's chin, the master asked, "Now How does this taste?"
"Fresh & Sweet" remarked the apprentice.
"Do you taste the salt?" asked the master.
"No," said the young man.
At this, the master sat beside the young man who so reminded him of Himself at one time and held his hands.
He told the young man, "The pain of life is pure salt; no more, no less.
The amount of pain in life remains exactly the same. However, the amount of bitterness we taste depends on the container we put the pain in.
So when you are in pain, the only thing you can do is to enlarge your sense of things . . .
"Stop being a glass. Become a lake."

Dear sir,
We could quote several stories like this kind to console others. But, when problem comes to us, we forget to remember such stories in our life. Because, the one who touches the fire feels the pain of inflammation and others standing him arround could not understand the same pain.
Any how the story is very nice and can be told to young people to develop the degree of tolerance
Thank you,

We realize the feeling of pain when touch the fire. When others face problems we may not know its seriousness. There are about hundreds of philashopical stories of this kind. Anyhow such stories will help the youth to develop the degree of tolerance in their mind.
Thank you.
