If we have a positive mental attitude, then even when surrounded by hostility, we shall not lack inner peace.

I saw a dove on my windowsill this morning; I'd say it's a good omen for the rest of my day.

🍂The Sheep-Biter
There was a Shepherd who had a large flock of Sheep. The Shepherd also owned a Dog. He strongly believed that the Dog was very loyal. The Dog was, thus, always well fed and kindly treated.
Sadly, the Dog was not loyal! He pretended to be a faithful pet, but as soon as his master’s back was turned, the Dog would trouble the Sheep. He would occasionally even kill one Sheep and eat it. This went on secretly for a long time.
One day, Shepherd saw the Dog kill a Sheep. He was very angry for the Dog had cheated him so badly! He decided to hang the Dog without mercy.
When the rope was put around his neck, the Dog begged cith for mercy. He pleaded that his master should hang the Wolf, who killed ten times more Sheep than the Dog himself. But the Shepherd replied, sternly, “That may be. But you are far more dangerous than the Wolf. Not only have you killed my Sheep, you made a greater mistake by breaking my trust. Nothing will save you from your punishment.”
An enemy in disguise of a friend, is the greates villain.

🍂The Doctor and his Patient
One day, a Patient went to a Doctor complaining of severe stomachache. The Doctor examined the Patient and told him that the cause of his illness was excessive drinking of wine.
The Doctor prescribed the Patient some medicines and asked him to take them, regularly. The Patient took his medicines on time but did not stop drinking wine. As a result, his stomachache did not go away.
Finally, one day, the Patient died.
The Patient was a powerful man. Thus, a large crowd had gathered for his funeral. The Patient’s friends and relatives were crying over his death. The Doctor had also come for the funeral. He said to the relatives, “If only our dear friend had stopped drinking wine, he would have been
alive now Though he took his medications on time, he could not leave his drinking habit.”
One of the relatives of the Patient had been listening to the Doctor. He said, “Doctor, your advice is of no
use now! You should have asked your patient to stop drinking wine while he was alive.”
If the right advice is given at a wrong time then it is of no use.
