| Two
persons were traveling through the night. One had a lamp,
another had no lamp. But while they were both walking together
their path was lit.
The
path of the one who had no lamp was also lit, and he was very
happy. He never bothered about any lamp - what was the need?
But
then they came to a crossroad, and the man who had a lamp had to
go his way. Suddenly there was darkness. Now the other man
suffered very much.
He started crying and
weeping, saying,
" Why didn't I learn how to make a lamp? Why didn't I ask
the man how to light the lamp? My own lamp - even if it were small
- would have been better than this...
...but
I never thought about it. I had thought everything was going so
well, so what was the need - The path was lit.
But
now....." |
