The Sun and the Rain in you
It was a cloudy day,
and the sun was not visible in the sky. When the sun tried to shine, a cloud
said to it, "Take some rest. You have been tirelessly rising and shining
every day." The sun replied with a broad smile, "Thank you for understanding
me. But remember, if I don't rise for a while, the Earth will suffer from low
energy." The cloud nodded and said, "Yes, you are right, but once in
a while, you should take a break." Then, the rain joined the discussion.
"Friends, give me a chance to play my role, too. If I am not there, the
Earth will sink into drought." The sun and the cloud agreed.
The beautiful moon
appeared with elegance and said, "Since I am being explored more by
humans, I would like to draw a parallel to human nature." The other three
were drawn towards the moon, who continued, "There are people like the
sun, who tirelessly work and show up daily to play their roles effectively. But
they should also realise: if the sun can take a rest, why can't they? Other
people are like the rain; they may only appear once in a while to quench the
thirst for knowledge. The world should respect both those who tirelessly show
up every day and those who come occasionally to provide essential
insights."
Whether in an organisation
or a home, we need both types of people: those who show up daily and those who
come once in a while to fill the pond of knowledge.
Nature is a vast
university where we learn life lessons through its seasons. If we understand
the philosophy of nature, we can understand the psychology behind human behaviour.
Be a sun to improve
your own life, and be a rain to improve the lives of others.
M.L. Narendra Kumar
