This is really true about human beings, at each stage of their life there should be a role that no one can play but the meant person. Growing old does not mean standing a side and observing or even watching. No matter how old one grows, they have their own IMPORTANT role in life….

As a grown up I find that shame really hinders me and the way I feel about myself and my acceptance with friends and family. This story brought tears to my eyes. I sort of felt like the little cracked pot and knew that even though I have had “cracks” for many years that I do good and I am good. I was so judged @ one time in my life and it caused such horrible changes and now that shame is just always underlying. I will treasure this story. It comes @ a time when that shame has resurfaced and it bothers me. This story will give me strength.
Love,
Pamela

I simply love Indian stories and this one in particular! It is one of my favourites because it reminds us that there is always something good about us, even though it is so evident that we have some cracks :-) God loves us the way we are inside our hearts and knowing our potential for love, gives us many chances to evolve.
People are used to noticing only what goes wrong, but what about what goes right in the whole world? Bad things are more aggressive, more visible indeed, but good things are happening all the time, in a more discreet manner, lights are being lit inside our hearts and minds every single day. I guess that a cracked jar definitely has charm as long as it waters the land to have beautiful flowers and implicitely, good deeds!
God wants to transform this world for the better infinitely more than we do, I am convinced, because of the pure love! That is why, God still believes in us, even when we cease to see our good parts, God respects the Light in us, while we are distracted only by the darkness.
Love simply is! :-)

Lots of hugs and appreciation,
Carmen Larisa

This story encourages us all to make the best of where we are, no matter what our conditions. We each have skills and talents as well as intrinsic value. We also underestimate the blessings in our lives and how much pleasure we bring to other human beings just being who we are.

Hmm…everything what we are caring inside our heart, whether it is love, strength, our passion for adventure,.. our restless heart can handle.
Those forces living inside us can drive us to the extreme, but they can also give us sense of serenity.
Everything is in our power.
And funny thing is, we actually let this happen, we are the magicians of our world, we…enjoy whatever comes to us somehow, the love, the joy, the excitement, and even the pain, the sorrow. We let the river to take us with its current. Why?
Because it makes us…full.
Full of emotions, full of incredible, unforgettable feelings.
It makes us simply…alive.

Nobody is perfect and everybody is perfect, if we only let it.

love

You can learn much more from worthless, scum of the earth people than you can from anyone else. At least I know I have! Few and far between have morals.

“..We can always make the most of each one of these new qualities and obtain a good result.”

Yes…I hope that with all the love, all the light we have we still can..make this life more beautiful, full of magical moments.
