Parables about life with morality are short. Parables about life with morals - short Parable happy unhappy

Good afternoon, my dear friends!

Let's start the conversation about happiness, about how success and happiness are connected, as always, with parables.

Parable about happiness.

The sage walked along the road, rejoicing at the beauty of the surrounding world, admiring the sunny day, flowering fields, colorful butterflies. Wandering towards him, hunched over from an unbearable burden, was an unfortunate man who obviously had no time for the joys of the world.

“For what purpose do you doom yourself to unbearable suffering? Why do you need this?” the sage addressed him.

“For the happiness of my children and grandchildren, I suffer. All my life my great-grandfather suffered to make my grandfather happy, and my grandfather suffered to make my father happy. So that happiness would not bypass my house, my father suffered. And I will endure all suffering for the sake of the happiness of my children and grandchildren,” he heard in response.

"Was there anyone in your family that was happy?"

“No, but my children and grandchildren will certainly become happy!”

“An illiterate person cannot teach reading, and a mole will never raise an eagle! To understand how to make children and grandchildren happy, you must first learn to be happy yourself,” said the sage.

Parable about family happiness.

Two families lived next door in a small town. In one of them, eternal quarrels and strife, and in the other, happiness and mutual understanding settled. How jealous the obstinate hostess was that everything was going so well in the neighbor's house. One day she says to her husband: “Go to the neighbors, see why everything is so quiet and smooth for them.”

Nothing to do, the peasant went to the neighbors, quietly went into the house and in a secluded corner and hid. Watching with interest what is happening in the house. And the hostess, singing merrily, puts the house in order, and she does it all cleverly.

And then she took on an expensive vase to wipe the dust, but the phone rang at the wrong time. The woman was distracted, and put the vase on the very edge of the table. At this time, her husband also needed something in the room. He caught the vase and dropped it on the floor.

“Lord, what will happen now,” thought the hiding neighbor.

And the woman, sighing with regret, said to her husband: “I'm sorry, dear, I put the vase so carelessly. It's my fault".

“What are you, dear? I didn't notice the vase in a hurry, and it's my fault. And in other matters, the main thing is that a greater misfortune does not come to us.

... How painful it was to listen to all this neighbor. It pinched his heart. He was very upset and quietly went home.

“And why did you go there for so long? What did you manage to see?" His wife met him at the door.

"Managed!"

"Well, how are they?"

“They are all to blame, but we are always right.”

A parable about happy and unfortunate.

There lived one person. He was very rich and famous. It would seem that success and happiness are his constant companions. Everything you can dream of, what you like and what you fell in love with - he had everything: dozens of cars and even a plane, and no one considered the rest. But at the same time he was quite unhappy. Even having risen into the sky on an airplane, he experienced nothing but sadness.

All his desires were fulfilled instantly, and he did not have them already. There was not a single obstacle in his path that would interfere with success and happiness, but they were absent. A rich courtyard, exquisite cuisine, amazing attractions, travel - nothing amused him. He himself was unable to explain the cause of his suffering. Sadness, discontent were his constant companions.

And he decided to take his own life, for which he went to the river. And on the shore, the beggar was catching fish for himself in order to figure out a simple dinner. He rejoices at the caught fish, like a piece of gold. Glowing with happiness.

"And why are you so happy?" asked the unfortunate man.

“Why, the evening is so warm, the sunset is beautiful and I will have an excellent dinner.”

“Is this really enough to be so happy and satisfied with your life?”

“Yes, today success accompanies me and I’m just happy!” the beggar replied.

"But you don't have anything."

“Yes, I am the richest in this world,” the beggar looked at the rich man in bewilderment.

“I have everything, but what is your wealth if you don’t even have shoes?”

The beggar smiled slyly: “I have the main thing: my desires, goals, the future in which I am striving, an infinite number of problems that need to be overcome. I solve the most fascinating crossword puzzle - my own life. What could be more interesting. Today I am the luckiest person on this earth, I have a wonderful dinner. And I'm happy, I'm happy!"

The rich man thought for a long time in the dark night, returning home. What he understood is not known, but the next day he disappeared. Couldn't find him and he didn't show up anymore. Obviously he left in search of success and happiness, where there are problems, plans, goals, dreams. To a world where desires appear.

Rejoice if there are still desires in your life that are not fulfilled, problems that have to be dealt with, tasks that await your solution. When all this is gone, the joy of achievement will disappear. An endless night will come in which success and happiness cannot be considered.
