Piece to Peace

A farmer always wished his small and noisy house to be larger and quieter without spending much. One day, in order to get his problem solved, he went straight to his friend and explained his need.

The friend said," I can solve your problem. Just do as I say". Without any fuss, the man agreed.
chicks, some sheep, a horse, a pig and a cow, bring all of them into your house to live with you".

The farmer thought that it would be a silly thing to do. But he did it anyway. His house was already small, and with all those noisy animals in it, there was no room at all. The tightfisted man returned to his friend and cried, "I need more space, more room and peace! The animals have crowded my house and are so noisy that I can’t think at all!"

"Don’t panic! Now take all those animals out of your house and put them back in the barn", the friend replied.

When the farmer had put all the animals comfortably back in the barn, he went into his house. To his utter astonishment, the house suddenly looked remarkably bigger! Without the animals inside, his house was now quiet too!! And his problem was solved without spending anything.

Events remain the same, only the perception and opinions change. Our opinions depend upon our lives and habits. He who never changes his opinions or corrects his mistake will never be wiser. So opinions should be judged and directed wisely with an open mind.

Moral:
Every problem has a ‘context’. If you change the ‘context’, the problem may cease to exist.
