From one of my Fren's

One of my dear friends said to me one night when I was thinking of the life and the different troubles people face and was getting depressed ….

She said that everyone is a PENCIL…..!
Yes, I am not joking, she said we are all pencils.

Well Shakespeare said we are all puppets, that I can understand, but we are pencils….
Well I laughed!What were you expecting me to do?

But then she shut me up by saying that all the sharpening that is done on the pencil is to get the led sharpened which is the sole purpose of the pencils life. To be so sharp that it can be used to write legible & beautiful writing.So, according to her the troubles make humans so sharp that they can be perfect in what ever they are supposed to do!

I was absolutely stunned by her simple example. I felt this inner peace that I have some purpose in life that I am working hard towards it & the troubles in my life or any one else’s is to make him / her, a stronger & better human in their respective life.
