The Reason for Stress

The Reason for Stress

A middle-aged man asked an old monk, "What is the reason for stress?"

The monk said, "More"

The middle-aged man asked, "Can you elaborate, what you said"

The monk with a smile said,

If you want more of anything and everything, you will be stressed. For example- If you want more money, you will be stressed, if you want to be loved more you will be stressed and the list is endless, but life has an end.

The middle-aged man asked, " How do I know what is more and what is not?"

Monk said, " In the journey of life, death is a destination and remember there is a destination for all your desires too, instead of defining what is more; define what and how much you want".

A well-defined life is like a well-defined journey to make your ride comfortable, define your route and your destination.

The middle-aged man thanked the monk and texted the builder, “I am not stretching my budget and let us go with basic amenities".

The builder immediately called and asked why, "The middle-aged man said, " I don't want to be stressed".

The builder said, "you are missing a valuable offer".

The middle-aged man said, "What is valuable to you; is not valuable to me and what is valuable to you is stressful to me".

While the middle-aged man was moving out of the monastery, he saw the builder entering the monastery
