loves you you must be the happiest bird in the world swan said to the raven with a sad heart no my friend i am not happy there are so many beautiful colors in the world but i don't have any color white is a nothing color i think parrot must be the happiest bird in the world he is so colorful hearing this the raven flew away from there and reached the parrot he said to parrot oh parrot you were so colorful and beautiful you must be the happiest bird in the world the parrot said to the
raven with a sad heart no my friend i am not happy you see people keep parrots in a cage i am always afraid that someone may hold me and lock me in a cage i think the peacock is the happiest bird in this world he is also much more colorful than me hearing this the raven flew around looking for a peacock after searching for a long time he finally got a peacock which was in a cage in a zoo he saw that hundreds of people had gathered to see him after the people left the raven
approached the peacock and said dear peacock you are so beautiful every day thousands of people come to see you and look at me when people see me they immediately shoo me away i think you must be the happiest bird on the planet the peacock replied sadly he said i always thought that i was the most beautiful and happy bird on the planet but because of my beauty i am entrapped in this zoo when people pluck my colorful feathers to make decorative things it hurts me a lot the peacock took a deep sigh and said i
am not happy my friend the raven was surprised to hear this from the peacock he asked him if you are not happy then whom do you think is the happiest bird in the world the peacock said i have examined the zoo very carefully and i have realized that you the raven are the only bird not kept in the cage people don't try to catch you and entrap you in the cages so for the past few days i have been thinking that if i were a raven i could happily roam everywhere and i would be free
hearing this the raven flew away from there and today for the first time he was feeling happy to be a raven he came back to that stage and said a wise one i do not want to be anything else i am fine what i am if you see our lives we will find that this is our problem too we make necessary comparison with others and then become sad and curse ourselves we don't tell you what we have and this all leads to vicious cycles of unhappiness you should learn to be happy in what you have
instead of looking at what you don't have there will always be someone who will have more or less than you have if you keep comparing yourself to others you will never be able to be happy a person who is satisfied with what he or she has is the happiest person in the world this is buddha bless you with inspirational stories thanks for watching and always keep smiling you
