People and situations always do not fit in your frame of perfection. Often, that makes one agitated and angry, eventually diminishing the strength of their personality. So, find your peace amidst the world’s flaws even as you strive to make a change.
Ikkyu, the Zen master, was very clever even as a boy. His
teacher had a precious teacup, a rare antique. Ikkyu happened to break this cup
and was greatly perplexed. Hearing the footsteps of his teacher, he held the
pieces of the cup behind him. When the master appeared, Ikkyu asked: “Why do
people have to die?”
“This is natural,” explained the older man. “Everything has to die and has just
so long to live.”
Ikkyu, producing the shattered cup, added: “It was time for your cup to die.”
